Tell us about them.A:  I'm currently finishing up a (3) year term as co-Treasurer for the Driscoll PTO.  With a background in Finance, the co-Treasurer role was a logical way to support the PTO.  I shared the role with Meg Brackley during the first (2) years of service.  This year, I share the role with Ranjana Mayar.In addition, this will be my second year as co-Chair of the beloved Spring Fair.  Running the Fair alongside Jennifer Klaus and Desmond Hallandoats has been a very rewarding experience.  We are looking for a 4th co-Chair if anyone is interested;)Q: Do you have any advice for parents interested in becoming involved at Driscoll?A: Involvement can be small or large.  The Driscoll community is full of wonderful people with diverse skill sets.  I urge anyone with volunteer interest to contact the PTO chairs directly.Q: Fun Fact: What's something we should know about you that we don't?A: I was raised in a farm town in MA.  My father was a blue collar "jack of all trades" kind of guy.  Among other things, he had me riding/maintaining dirt bikes starting at the age of 4.  At my home, you will see this is still very much a part of me, as shown by the many toolboxes owned:)  Tatyana often uses this knowledge to her advantage when she wants me to fix something....
