Thank you for giving me the wonderful opportunity to be on the PTO board. My daughter feels safe here and most importantly is having FUN because West Lab feels like home! I look forward to working with this passionate and diverse PTO Board alongside all our WL parents, staff, and teachers. Let’s have a great year and always remember to BE KIND to one another!

I am beyond honored to be part of the West Lab community & serve on the board of this very committed PTO. Supporting our bright children, our amazing teachers, and our supportive staff brings me immense joy. My fondest memories from my school years always involved an activity my mom was helping with, so now it's my turn to do that for my daughter who has entered 3rd grade this year. We're going to have an amazing year and I'm so excited to be part of it! Hope to see you all at one of our events!

The 2022-23 school year is my 5th year as a West Lab parent, and I'm thrilled to serve the community as VP for the next two years. I serve as a room parent for this year's 4th grade class and was the chair of the 2021 & 2023 VIP Formal. My husband Ariel and I have 4 children: a 5th grader, twins in 4th grade, and a little one joining West Lab this year in 1st grade. As well as being a dedicated mom, my "other job" is as a commercial real estate investment executive. My goals are to help make West Lab the most inclusive, thoughtful, and fun place for our students to learn and thrive. I strive to be receptive to the needs of the community, so please reach out to me via email or stop me to chat about anything big or small that can help guide the PTO as to how to best serve our families.
As a pianist and music educator, I’ve been active in teaching for over twenty years and am currently Professor of Music at Broward College. I am thrilled to share my experience and join a wonderful group of parents as PTO Co-Secretary. I’ve been active as a room parent for multiple grades and most enjoy the involvement and participation with parents, teachers, students, and administration while working to continue the core mission and betterment of the West Lab community.
I am looking forward to contributing to the community as PTO Secretary. I have 3 young boys, Axel in 5th grade, Max in 2nd and Jack will be entering Kindergarten. I have a background in styling and production for photo shoots and events. I spent 20 years as a Style Editor for lifestyle magazines, my editorial work as a writer and producer for photo shoots will be helpful with the various events and programs we will be putting together this coming year.
Our family is thrilled to be part of the amazing West Lab community. I am excited and humbled to be able to give back, volunteering to make our school grow. I look forward to work with all the PTO Team and the rest of the West Lab families to keep our school in the top ranks of Miami and Florida.
As the proud parent of twin daughters at West Lab, I am excited to be a part of the wonderful team of parents on the PTO board. West Lab is a welcoming, caring, and fun place for our children to learn and grow; thanks to the dedication of great teachers, staff, and parents. I am looking forward to a wonderful year!
