It is such a great pleasure and tremendous honor to serve as Co-President of the Field PTO Executive Board. My husband, Frank (Park Ridge-born and Niles-raised), and I feel incredibly blessed to be part of the Field community through our daughter, Jayme Renae, currently in fourth grade. As soon as she started preschool, I knew early on how my involvement as a parent is highly crucial toward her overall educational experience, thus began volunteering as a Room Parent. From helping host and coordinate fun classroom parties, to serving as a liaison between the parents, teachers, and administration, I truly enjoyed the activities and wanted to further contribute at a higher level and broader scope. Both Kristin (Co-President) and I are Co-Leaders of Field’s Girl Scouts Junior troop of fourth graders as well, founded when the girls were kindergarteners.
Born and raised in the Philippines, I moved to the US 17 years ago and have been blessed with opportunities to work in various roles and industries — from being a flight attendant to an Executive Assistant and now as Senior Director of Events and Operations for an international medical association. My family and I love to travel, watch movies, try new restaurants, and spend an exorbitant amount of time with a "small" group of 20 of our closest family and friends. I am humbled to serve on the Board of Directors as well of Compass to Care, a not-for-profit organization, founded by a childhood cancer survivor and Park Ridge-resident, to provide free Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) solution to access life-saving cancer treatment and clinical trials for children fighting cancer and facing poverty or cancer-related financial toxicity (CRFT).
Co-Vice President: Nicole H.
I'm excited to be back as Co-Vice President this year and looking forward to working with this year's Board! I served as Treasurer for 2 years before moving into this role and have also helped plan Dine-to-Donate events, organized the school supply fundraiser, and am coaching Follies for my 2nd year. We've lived in Park Ridge since 2017, and this year we'll have 4th and 2nd graders. I work in health policy for a consulting company and have been involved with several non-profit Boards/organizations previously. My husband and I love to travel (with and without kids!), I’m an avid reader, and our weekends are usually taken up by sports for one or both of the kids!
Co-Vice President: Michelle B.
Happy to be here! I was born in Chicago (Jeff Park) and have lived in the Niles/Park Ridge area for 15 years. We currently live in Uptown Park Ridge where you will most likely see my husband and I walking two unruly dachshunds. I have three kiddos, with my youngest at Field. I spend my days running corporate communications for a tech company and I love that I can use my background to help the PTO and our school.
Treasurer: Scott P. (Bio TBD)
Co-Secretary: Phil K. Thank you for allowing me to serve as Co-Secretary this year. I am born and raised in Park Ridge, and father to one Emerson fifth grader and one Field first grader. I enjoy playing golf and getting together with the other Field parents I've made friends with over the years. If you see a large, white Samoyed dog around that you think is a polar bear at first glance, that's likely mine, so stop by and say hi. Professionally, I use my background in digital marketing to help clients in Chicago and the suburbs as a licensed real estate agent/listing specialist.
Co-Secretary: Olivia R. (Bio TBD)
