Co-President:  Kristin O.

I am excited to be joining the PTO Executive Board again this year.  My husband and I have two daughters at Field, a fourth grader and a second grader.  When I’m not running around the playground with my kids or walking our energetic dog around our neighborhood, I work as an attorney in the commercial real estate space.  I first became part of the Field School community as a student many years ago and I’m happy to be back as a parent and a member of this dedicated and talented group.  My prior experience with the PTO includes serving as a room mom, helping to coach Field Follies, singing off-key in V Show, and participating in Trunk or Treat.  

Co-President:  Renalin L.
It is such a great pleasure and tremendous honor to serve as Co-President of the Field PTO Executive Board.  My husband, Frank (Park Ridge-born and Niles-raised), and I feel incredibly blessed to be part of the Field community through our daughter, Jayme Renae, currently in fourth grade.  As soon as she started preschool, I knew early on how my involvement as a parent is highly crucial toward her overall educational experience, thus began volunteering as a Room Parent.  From helping host and coordinate fun classroom parties, to serving as a liaison between the parents, teachers, and administration, I truly enjoyed the activities and wanted to further contribute at a higher level and broader scope.  Both Kristin (Co-President) and I are Co-Leaders of Field’s Girl Scouts Brownie troop of fourth graders as well, founded when the girls were kindergarteners.

Born and raised in the Philippines, I moved to the US 17 years ago and have been blessed with opportunities to work in various roles and industries — from being a flight attendant to an Executive Assistant and now as Senior Director of Events and Operations for an international medical association.  My family and I love to travel, watch movies, try new restaurants, and spend an exorbitant amount of time with a "small" group of 20 of our closest family and friends.  I am humbled to serve on the Board of Directors as well of Compass to Care, a not-for-profit organization, founded by a childhood cancer survivor and Park Ridge-resident, to provide free Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) solution to access life-saving cancer treatment and clinical trials for children fighting cancer and facing poverty or cancer-related financial toxicity (CRFT).

Co-Vice President:  Nicole H.

I'm excited to be back as Co-Vice President this year and looking forward to working with this year's Board!  I served as Treasurer for 2 years before moving into this role, and also planned Dine-to-Donate events and supported the School Supply fundraiser.  We've lived in Park Ridge since 2017, and this year we'll have 3rd and 1st graders.  I work in health policy for a consulting company and have been involved with several non-profit Boards/organizations previously.  My husband and I love to travel (with and without kids!), I’m an avid reader, and our weekends are usually taken up by sports for one or both of the kids!

Co-Vice President:  Megan E.

Hello! I am new to the Board this year and thrilled to be here! I am an elementary teacher in a nearby suburb and have a child in 4th grade.  I have been involved in Follies, V Show, Trunk or Treat and also coach park district sports.  My goal is to increase community involvement with PTO events through membership and volunteer opportunities; I have met so many wonderful friends through PTO events and love to connect people. 

Co-Secretary:  Angie B.

Co-Secretary:  Michelle B.

Happy to be here! I was born in Chicago (Jeff Park) and have lived in the Niles/Park Ridge area for 15 years.  We currently live in Uptown Park Ridge where you will most likely see my husband and I walking two unruly dachshunds.   I have three kiddos, with my youngest at Field.  I spend my days running corporate communications for a tech company and I love that I can use my background to help the PTO and our school.  

Treasurer:  Scott P.
