About Us

President

Hi everyone! I'm thrilled to be serving in my 4th year on the PTTF board and honored to step into my 2nd year as president. My family and I have called Merrimack home for the past 7 years. My husband, Chris, and I have two wonderful kids—our son is a 6th grader at JMUES, and our daughter is in 3rd grade here at TFS.

I’m deeply involved in our school community and love being part of the energy here at TFS. When I’m not working at the Parent Information Center in Concord, you’ll often find me subbing in classrooms or collaborating as the parent representative on our school's Literacy Leadership Team.

I’m passionate about building strong family-school partnerships, fostering meaningful engagement, and advocating for all students. I look forward to connecting with more of you this year—let’s make it a great one. Go Hawks!

VP, Fundraising

I have been on the PTTF and a part time substitute teacher for the past four years. The kids and staff make every day brighter with their smiles, hellos, and endless energy.

I have a third grader, Natalie, and proudly embrace my life as a gymnastics mom.

I love spending time with my husband, daughter, family, and our animals.

We love to travel to Disney, especially during Christmas, our favorite time of year. 

When I’m not volunteering (which is hardly ever) , you can usually find me running errands… or clutching a much-needed coffee!

VP, Programs

programs@pttf-events.com

Born and raised in Merrimack, NH and proud to be raising our three girls here. 

I work full time and am excited to give back to the TFS community as a member of the PTTF

I have a love for holidays, crafts, coffee and frappes, and will find any reason for gift giving.

You can find me making new recipes and encouraging non toxic ways of living but I will never turn down Chick-Fil-A or McDonald's French fries. 

My favorite season is summer; you can find me outside anywhere the sun is shining, gardening and at the beach.

I was a cheerleader and lacrosse player for MHS, and  coached lacrosse for two years. I continued my love for athletics as a competitive CrossFit athlete for four years (how I met my husband and the rest is history!) and enjoy staying active now, with my family. 

10/10 don’t recommend ice skating.

Secretary

secretary@pttf-events.com

I am a mom of three: my oldest is a graduate of MHS and also a TFS alumni, and my two youngest are currently at TFS; so needless to say, after an 8 year hiatus from TFS, I am back on the PTTF board serving as this year’s Secretary. I joined PTTF back in 2014 as the VP of Programs and eventually served as President for two years. During that time, I am proud to have been a part of Thorntons Ferry School's achievement in being named the 2016 Elementary School of the Year in the state of NH receiving the prestigious NH EDies Award (New Hampshire Excellence in Education Award).

My full time day job pays for my survival on caffeine in vanilla iced latte form, the only running I do is run on Team No Sleep, while jamming to music from the 80's/90's and the only free time on my calendar is between the hours of 3am and 6am, otherwise, I am either mothering, working, volunteering, planning, socializing or binge watching the classics: Gilmore Girls, Friends or Grey's Anatomy - with a pint of rocky road ice cream!

VP, Volunteers

I’m thrilled to be serving as your PTTF VP of Volunteers this year. As a mom of three, our family has been part of the TFS community for nine wonderful years. Two of my children are proud TFS alumni, and my youngest is officially stepping into Kindergarten after two great years in preschool here!

I am also a full-time sports mom. I serve on the MYA soccer board and you can usually find me on the sidelines of a soccer field or basketball court cheering my kids on. 

In the summer, our family loves relaxing at our home in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. 

Having seen firsthand how much parent support enriches our school, I’m excited to help connect our fantastic community with meaningful ways to get involved this year!
