I co-founded and coordinated a neighborhood playgroup with over 30 families. I have coordinated and served on youth, preschool, and parent group boards. And most importantly, I have been a team parent for over 5 years, as my children have participated in soccer, basketball, baseball, and cheerleading sports leagues. Currently, I am the team parent for two of my children’s teams during the SMYS Fall Season. Through my many years of experience, I have seen what works and what doesn’t work as a team parent. I love being part of an organization that is beneficial to children’s health and well being, and I love to help others in making their own volunteer experiences as easy and enjoyable as possible. I will bring my diverse background and previous experience to the position of Director of Team Parents.
