President

Melissa Ferber

Hi! I’m Melissa, a mom of 2 boys at Ridgeline Academy, one going into 3rd grade and the other in kindergarten. This will be our second year at Ridgeline and I have always strived to be an active member of the PTO, even at our previous school but the switch to Ridgeline has been the best choice for my family!

Professionally, I am a Pediatric Occupational Therapist, holding an advanced certification in working with children that have eating, feeding, and swallowing limitations as well as sensory integration skills working in early intervention as well as with my own private practice.

In addition, I love to be creative and host events with family and friends!

Vice President & Treasurer

Jennifer Justin

Hi, I'm Jennifer! I have a daughter who's been a student at Ridgeline Academy Elementary since kindergarten and have been an active member of PTO since we joined the Ridgeline family. I fully believe in the PTO's mission because I've seen the positive benefits it yields for students and staff at both campuses prior to becoming a board member.

During high school I was in Student Government & our class president - I have a heart for service and creating community. I'm employed full as manager of a law firm but have found it valuable to participate in all things PTO to sew into and support the schools as a whole, including the many things PTO helps fund. It's a privilege to be part of the difference. See you around campus!

Secretary

Alexis Coulston

Hi, I'm Alexis! My daughter has attended Ridgeline since kindergarten. My family and I love our staff and frequently spoil them to show our appreciation. As a regular volunteer it only made sense to extend that appreciation more by walking out the PTO mission. I'm excited to be here!

We love adventuring as a family on weekends.

Event Coordinator & Creative Director (Dragon Slayer)

Lauren Friedl

Hello, I'm Lauren or as the kiddos call me Ms. Bunny! Your one and only Ridgeline's Creative Director. When I'm not off slaying life's dragons -- I'm hopping into school to support our wonderful Ridgeline staff and experiencing the joys and inspiration of all our beautiful children.

This is our family's second year at Ridgeline with Freddy embarking on his 1st Grade journey. We are excited to explore, create, grow, and support the Ridgeline family.

Let's create something special.
