Lenia Dritsoula

CO-PRESIDENT

I am from Greece and moved to the United States to pursue my PhD in 2009. 10 years and 2 kids later, I am now a software engineer at Google, trying to balance work and family life (if this is even possible!). When I am not at work or at home with my husband and our two daughters, I like enjoying a nice cup of coffee and reading a book. I joined PAMP to get to know other families in the area, share my experiences being so far away from my home country and explore fun activities to do with my family. I have lived in Palo Alto and Menlo Park for about a decade and I think a have barely scratched the surface regarding places and go and things to do!

Emily Chu

CO-PRESIDENT

I joined PAMP in 2016 shortly after the birth of my son. We were looking for fun activities to fill our days and PAMP was and has continued to be a great resource for us. I live in Mountain View with my husband, my 1-year old son, and my 4-year old yellow lab. Professionally, I am a Controller at a private partnership in Palo Alto. I am a firm believer in giving back to the community and when I was presented with an opportunity to join PAMP Board as a Member at Large in 2017, I seized it without hesitation. I really enjoy working with smart, talented and loving moms in this role. I hope to continue to support PAMP with my accounting background as PAMP’s Treasurer.

LEGAL

Soon after the birth of our son and our move to Menlo Park, I joined PAMP to get to know other parents in Palo Alto and Menlo Park and to get more involved in the community. Professionally, I am a Partner at The Mitzel Group LLP, where I head up our Business and Corporate Transactions practice. I look forward to building on the success of PAMP and connecting with other PAMP members.

Rachaell Mondino

SECRETARY

I am a Bay Area native, born and bred. I moved to Silicon Valley six years ago, but didn’t really put down roots until I had kids. I have been a PAMP member since my first child was born, joining because I felt isolated, and wanted to connect to people in the same stage of life. My son and I both met some of future best friends through the PAMP playgroups!

I am a nurse in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, where I care for the sickest of the sick, working together with families to provide comfort and hope in their darkest hours. I aspire to bring light and laughter with my singing, dancing, and hospital-grade ice cream sundaes. To find balance, I chose to spend my personal time out-and-about on the peninsula with my husband and kids, immersing myself in sunshine and smiles. I plan to bring my innate need to connect with others, and my joy for the little moments, to the community I hope to make with PAMP families.

EVENTS

I've been living in the Bay Area for the past four years, though becoming a mother here has helped grow the roots to call it home. I've been a PAMP member since my son was born in February 2016 and I've met some dear friends through PAMP events!

Professionally, I have a 15 year background in real estate and residential development and own a boutique real estate brokerage. My real passion is in health and personal development (I'm certified in holistic health and nutrition). Through my online wellness company, we have served more than 5,000 customers and completed dozens of social and philanthropy events. I also serve as the president for Nor Cal for a non-profit health education group, where I plan and execute educational events. I look forward to bringing my passion for events, creating community and being a mother to the PAMP community!

Gabrielle Servant

MEMBER AT LARGE

My husband and I moved to the Bay Area from Eastern Canada with our toddler son in mid-2018. I gave birth to my second son a few months later. 

I joined PAMP soon after our arrival and I have since met wonderful friends through different PAMP events. I immediately loved the variety of activities provided by the organization and the opportunities to meet other parents facing similar challenges as we do. I decided to join the board to help increase connectedness between new Bay area families. 

I am a physician trained in internal medicine and I am currently on extended maternity leave. I savor the days with my little ones and I do a bit of medical research in my spare time.
