Heather O'Connor

President

Heather is mom to daughter Zoe and son Ezra.  She's also a third-grade teacher in a local school district.  When she's not working either of those two jobs, she can be found chasing after her Corgi, Mabel, at the local parks; playing nerdy board and strategy games; and traveling, especially to destinations with "Disney" somewhere in the name.

Cristina Nassif Kotmair

Family Support Coordinator

Cristina is a mom to sons Sydney and Desmond and daughter Evangelina. When she isn’t performing as a classical singer — she and her husband met while singing in a production of the opera Carmen — she is busy trying to make life wonderful for her family. Some days this means really missing the stage; other days, it means fitting in a nap to make her more pleasant to be around; still others, it means wondering if she’s doing anything right. Cristina is passionate about connecting with others, be it through music, laughter, or tears and she is always up for heart to hearts with other moms on this journey of life — with or without kids!
