Mateo who is at home at 9 months old. I have been involved in the PMO for 5 years, but have been active within the school for over 12 years. I wear hats-taxi driver, maid, personal assistant chef. I am also the Holy Cross Marketing and Fundraising Director. The thing I like the most about PMO is the people who I have gotten to know and get to interact with.

This is my first year being involved in the PMO and as the vice president, but I have been a teacher at HCCS for about 6 years. What I enjoy most about being apart of the PMO is being able to play fun activities for the student and staff with other parents. I joined PMO because I wanted to be very more involved on HCCS.
