Hi! I’m Omnia Elgoodah, proud mom to Aisha Sharif and thrilled to be serving as this year’s PTSA President and Fundraising Chair at Tambark Creek Elementary.

Supporting our school and building a stronger connection between families, teachers, and students is something I deeply care about. Whether it’s through fundraising, operations, or creating more inclusive opportunities, I’m excited to work alongside an incredible team of parents and staff to make this school year memorable and impactful for everyone.

Professionally, I’ve spent over 15 years in marketing and business strategy—working in areas like fundraising, communications, event planning, and community engagement. I’ve also had the chance to work with both grassroots and national organizations, helping them tell their story, raise support, and bring people together. I’m passionate about using those experiences here at Tambark Creek to benefit our school community.

As Fundraising Chair and President, my focus is on fostering collaboration, encouraging new ideas, and making sure every voice is heard. Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or just curious about getting involved, there’s a place for you in our PTSA. Let’s work together to support our students, uplift our educators, and make this a year to remember!
