We're exciting to serve this year!
President
Jena has enjoyed volunteering at Greenwood through the PTA for the past three years. She is excited to be your PTA president, and help navigate through this unprecedented time with positivity, support and encouragement. Her son is a 3rd Grader and loves learning, sports, and playing new instruments. Jena works as a Manager in the Mortgage Industry, Creative Director for a clothing/sneaker brand and brand ambassador for many local businesses. She has experience in radio broadcasting and marketing. She has a great network of community support, and looks forward to using her experience and resources to support Greenwood and our wonderful PTA.
President-Elect
I am excited to rejoin the PTA board as President-Elect, having previously served as Treasurer and VP of Membership. I will also be chairing the retail promotions committee, so if you have any questions or need any help, please let me know. My wife, Carrie, and I have a 4th grader, Samantha, and we are really excited about the upcoming school year. As the son of a Marine, I grew up in several states and countries. I moved to the Richmond area in 10th grade and then attended Randolph-Macon. I currently work in the financial services industry focusing on technology labor strategy.
My family feels very fortunate to be part of the Gator community, and we are excited to see the magic this year from these amazing Gators!
VP, Programs
Cynthia enjoys serving on the PTA Board. This is her fifth year being involved with PTA. You will usually see her attending school events with camera in hand, followed by her husband and three Gator children: Alex (2nd Grade), Addison (3rd Grade), and Dabney (5th Grade). She has retired from the military with over 23 years of service and currently runs a ceiling cleaning and restoration business with her husband, Dabney. Cynthia works full-time at an engineering firm as a Technical Graphics Specialist and also runs a company creating technical graphics and making documents accessible and 508 compliant. She enjoys shooting pool in a local league along with her husband and children. She also enjoys being involved with her daughter at girl scouts and sons at cub scouts. Cynthia is honored that her children get to attend such a great school and are able to be a part of the wonderful Greenwood family!
VP, Membership
Sarah is a Process Manager for a local financial institution and was born and raised here in Richmond.
I’m ready and excited to serve as secretary for the 2021-22 PTA Board. I have a second-grade Gator and a future Gator who already knows the house chant. We enjoy playing games, swimming, and camping as a family. While originally from Jamestown, New York, I ventured to Richmond to attend the University of Richmond for my undergraduate education and have since made it my home. I serve as marketing and communications director for an international association serving higher education.
Treasurer
I am so excited to be your PTA Treasurer for the 2020-2021 school year. I was born and raised in Mannheim Germany, but I’ve been a member of the Henrico community for the last 20 years. My family and I have been part of the Greenwood community for the last 3 years. I have a son who is now a rising r4thader. I completed my undergraduate degree at James Madison University in Health Administration. I also completed my Master’s in Health Administration and MBA from the University of Maryland’s University College. I am proud to say that I’ve worked at the VCU Health System for the last 20 years, where I am currently a Research Operations and Financial Analyst. 2020 has been a crazy year and I’m looking forward to getting back with my Greenwood family. Together we’re gonna ROCK this year!
VP, Communications

This is her first year serving on the PTA board. She has two gators going into first and fourth grade, and one former gator starting middle school at Hungary Creek. Erin is a former middle-school Special Education teacher so she has a passion for education and a drive to make sure everyone feels they can be involved and connected with the Greenwood family! Go Gators!!
