Meet Your PTO Executive Board Members!

The Field PTO is made up of dedicated parents, guardians, and teachers who generously share their time and talents to support school community. The PTO members listed below have volunteered to lead the Field PTO through the 2026-2027 school year. We hope you'll take a moment to get to know their names and faces. Please feel welcome to reach out with any questions. 

Co-President: Nicole Hrycyk

Looking forward to another fun year! We've got a great Board and I'm excited to work with everyone. This is my 6th (& final!) year on the Board, having previously served as Treasurer & Co-VP. I enjoy being a behind-the-scenes organizer, but also love working with students! I've been a room parent, helped coach Follies, and helped plan the Culture Fair. My oldest, Zach, made the jump to Emerson for the 26-27 school year, and my youngest, Tessa, is in 4th grade. 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-President: Olivia Fleming

Co-Vice President: Sara Sweeney 

I'm pumped to serve as co-VP along with Lauren! I am a lifelong Niles resident and still live there with my husband, Brian, and our 3 kids - Ryann - 8th, Jake - 5th, and Rory - 1st. I've had the opportunity to be a part of the wonderful Field community for several years by this point, and fortunately, have several more to go! Before joining the board, I contributed by participating in PTO meetings, helping out our room parents with class parties, serving as a scene coach for Field Follies, and helping plan a couple parent night out events. I work in corporate fleet management and when I'm not working, you can usually find me at one of the kid's sporting events. I look forward to meeting many of you this school year - whether at Field or around town!

Co-Vice President: Jen Ricchio

Co-Treasurer: Liz Bruss

This is my first year serving on the PTO and I'm looking forward to supporting the Field community! My oldest son, Charlie, will be in 2nd grade this year and we have two more coming (Theo, prek4 and JoJo, 2 yo). While my background was as a high school counselor for many years, I own and operate our small business, Le Village Cowork Des Plaines, including doing the day-to-day accounting. You will catch my this fall at flag football games, running the Chicago Marathon, and trying to survive 3 kids under 7! 

Co-Treasurer: Marta Inciong

Co-Secretary: Holly C. 

This is my first year working on the board and I am looking forward to working more closely with the Field community. My son Leo is in 2nd grade and my daughter Lorraine will be starting at Field in the fall of 2026 (She is currently in preschool at St. Monica Academy.). I am a nurse practitioner working in cardiac surgery and also own my own medical aesthetics business. For my business, I have created monthly newsletters and dabbled in website creation and I am excited to use skills in this role. I am even more excited to get to have a partner-in-crime with Olivia as co-secretary.  My past involvement in the Field community includes volunteering  as a scene leader with Field Follies for the past 2 shows. This experience made me gain an even greater appreciation for all that the teachers and staff at Field do for our kids (and the immense amount of patience they all have, lol). In my free time, I enjoy traveling with friends and family, running, and gardening.
