My husband, Preston, and I have 3 girls - Lily is a 3rd grader at The Woodlands Christian Academy, Holland is a Ladybug, this is her 2nd year at Paddington and Mary Constance is a Baby Bunny! I have loved Paddington since I was a kid growing up in The Woodlands and knew when we moved back that it was where I wanted to send our kids! I helped start a PTA at our old school (that I'm proud to say is running strong!) and have a BS in Engineering and an MBA in Finance and Accounting. In my spare time, I volunteer at TWCA and our church, Risen North. I also enjoy hiking, needlepoint, tennis and helping out on the Architectural Review Committee for the Grove by the Sea HOA. This year, I hope to establish a strong foundation that we can build on going forward. I want to not only look for ways to get the parents more involved but also find new ways to support the teachers, staff, and school! I am super excited to be the President and make Paddington PTA the best it can be!

My name is Francesca, the Treasurer of the Paddington PTA. Originally from Lima, Peru, I have lived in various countries, which has broadened my perspective. With an MBA from George Washington University, I bring strategic financial management skills and a passion for community-driven initiatives. My connection to Paddington started with my two-year-old son in the Little Lambs class. I admire Paddington’s dedication to hands-on, experiential learning, which aligns with my educational philosophy. This commitment motivates my support for Paddington’s mission. As PTA Treasurer, my vision is to enhance our children’s educational experience by effectively managing resources to support innovative programs. I am driven by a desire to give back to a school that fosters creative and immersive learning, and I look forward to working with parents and teachers to make a positive impact.

A proud born-and-raised Texan, I’m married and have two wonderful boys who are thriving at Paddington. Mark, our spirited three-year-old, is in his third year as a Butterfly, and Michael, our adorable one-year-old, has just embarked on his journey as a Baby Bunny. I hold a BA in Child Development from the University of Houston, which I earned in 2009. My passion for early childhood education and community involvement drives me to be an active member of our PTA. I find it incredibly fulfilling to help enhance our children’s educational experiences and to support the dedicated and talented staff at Paddington. The school has become more than just an educational institution; it feels like a close-knit village where every family plays a vital role. I’m eager to contribute my time and energy to fostering this vibrant community and ensuring that our children have the best possible start to their educational journey.

Since our move to The Woodlands in 2022, Paddington has become an integral part of our family's journey. Our oldest, Blake, is an energetic and curious Ladybug this year, while her little sister, Mischa, has just joined the Baby Bunnies. We also have a new baby boy who eagerly watches his sisters head off to school. I was born in Ukraine and raised in Los Angeles, where I spent most of my life building a career in Brand Development, Creative Direction, and E-Commerce, particularly in the Fashion industry. From luxury labels to fast fashion, my two decades of experience have shaped my strategic creative approach to all things within my reach. Today, I’m deeply invested in early childhood education and the freedom to explore and discover. I value Paddington’s magical environment for its creativity and strong academic foundation. I’m excited to enhance communication with our new website and develop spirit merchandise that parents and kids will love. I believe in making fundraising simple, enjoyable, and meaningful, and I’m thrilled to contribute to a school and community we cherish.

I grew up not too far from here in Montgomery, TX. My husband and I are blessed with two amazing kids, Ian, our fun and out-going 3 year old, & Bella, our sweet and kind 2 year old. I went to the University of Houston (Go Coogs), where I obtained my BS in Human Resource Management, and currently work remotely as a Global Business Partner for a tech company. Our family loves trying new things and activities, and we love to eat.. We are a big foodie fam. As a parent, I really believe in encouraging creativity and letting kids explore their imaginations. That’s one of the main reasons we chose Paddington. This is our son's first year here in the Caterpillars class, and I’m excited to get involved and help make this experience even more magical for all.

Hi! I’m Taylor, and I was born and raised here in The Woodlands/Conroe area. I have two daughters, Aubrey and Charlotte, who both attended Paddington. Aubrey, our 5 year old, is in kindergarten, and Charlotte is our 3 year old in caterpillars. This year is our fourth year at Paddington, and each year we love it more and more. We are looking forward to this opportunity to give back to the school. My husband, Julien, and I are both Army veterans; which is how we met. I currently attend Sam Houston State University, and will be graduating this year with my bachelors in history and minor in political science. My goal is to continue my education and eventually teach history at the collegiate level. I am hoping that my education will be beneficial to my role as parliamentarian! My family loves Paddington so much, and we are so grateful to this school. I am looking forward to contributing to the school that has given so much to our family!

Hello! I am Elena and I’m excited to be the school photographer this year. Originally from Russia, I’m a nurse practitioner by trade, and in my free time I love to immerse myself in photography. Capturing the joy and connection between families and children through photography is something I’m truly passionate about. My husband and I have two boys who keep us on our toes, so I know firsthand how quickly time flies by—and how important it is to treasure each precious moment. Our oldest son is a proud Ladybug this year and our youngest will be joining Paddington next year. From the moment I toured Paddington, I knew this was where we needed to be. It’s more than just a school—it’s a magical place where creativity blossoms alongside a well-rounded education. I simply fell in love with everything Paddington stands for. Through my role as a school photographer, I hope to contribute to the school community by preserving the memories of our children’s school years and enriching school activities with photos that reflect the energy and heart of the Paddington community. I look forward to capturing all the beautiful moments that make this school so special!
