Volunteer
I enjoy volunteering for my church and my children's school. We raise funds and products to help out with a variety of charities including animals, homeless, and working moms. I co-teach for the 1st through 4th grade Sunday school. I am the lead coach for the Kindergarten through 2nd grade Odyssey of the Mind team. I am on the mission and vision planning team for the church board. I also volunteer for the Parent Teacher Association as the Vice President. In this role I lead teams of parents and teachers in fundraising opportunities, managing budgets, organizing volunteers, and guiding the development of major and minor events.
