Bio
I am currently serving the second year of my two-year term as Co-President of the SSCMS PTO. My daughter will be in 8th grade this year, and I also have two boys at Woodland Elementary who will be joining the SSCMS community in the coming years. I have served on the Woodland PTO since 2021 and the SSCMS PTO since 2024, and I am excited to also serve on the SSCMS School Governance Council this year. I am passionate about making public education the best it can be for all students, and I believe that begins with strong, active partnerships between families and schools.

Bio
I am thrilled to be serving in my second year on the PTO as your Co-President. Our family transitioned to SSCMS from Woodland Elementary, where I spent four years as the PTO Secretary. When we aren't out enjoying all of the wonderful local community events that Sandy Springs has to offer, our family loves giving back. You can often find us volunteering with fantastic organizations like Meals on Wheels, the Lupus Foundation of America, and our church's family outreach programs. I can't wait to partner with you all this year to support our amazing students, dedicated parents, and the incredible staff at SSCMS. Let's make this a fantastic school year!
