The Executive Board

Stephanie MacDougall President

Stephanie MacDougall

Social butterfly and stay at home mom of 3! I love spending time with all three of my babies, decorating, crafting, gardening and volunteering! I was a Paralegal & Litigation Assistant prior to becoming a SAHM! I am EXCITED for a FUN, CREATIVE, and COLLABORATIVE year with our PTSO Board and Riley parents!

Son, Reid (Rising 3rd Grader)

Tara Feigenbaum Vice President

Tara Feigenbaum

I’m a mom to Charlotte (rising 2nd grader) and Joshua (rising kindergartener) and your co-secretary from last year. By day I work full time as an interior design project manager at Rutgers University, and by night and in my free time I’m a lover of party details, crafting, and improving any process. My go-a-little-extra
energy shows up in everything I do- and I hope to put it to good use in my new role. I’m here to support our president, build a stronger Riley community, and make sure every kid gets to sparkle.

Marie McCarthy Treasurer

Marie McCarthy

I’m a mom of three sports-loving boys (ages 9, 6 & 2) and have just wrapped up my 16th year as a middle school special education math teacher. When I’m not at a sporting event or chasing my toddler, I love to bake, spend time with family/friends and listen to podcasts. I’m looking
forward to the year ahead with other parents to help make next year even better for our kids!

Tana Pasko Assistant Treasurer

Tana Pasko

I am a stay-at-home mom to Lena, rising 3rd grader. I am also a licensed therapist who, prior to being a SAHM, worked as a child/family intensive in-community counselor. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, baking, and diving into true crime podcasts and documentaries. I look forward to contributing to the PTSO and helping create positive experiences for our students, families, and staff.

Rose Brower Recording Secretary

Rose Brower

I am a full time mom to 3 and an “off duty” nurse. My oldest daughter will be a senior this year and my twins, Nate and Lily, are rising 3rd graders. Before I became fortunate enough to stay at home I worked with ventilator dependent babies and children as a private nurse. When I have time to myself I like to make music, garden, and create art. I also enjoy deep diving into all things metaphysical, esoteric, and conspiratorial. I LOVE all kids of all ages and I’m so excited to be of service for the upcoming school year!

Rachel Molloy Corresponding Secretary

Rachel Molloy

Hi, I’m Rachel — mom to Cara (rising 2nd grader) and Derek (2 year-old chaos agent). I’m a UX Operations professional focused on connecting people, improving processes, and helping bring ideas to life, and I’m excited to bring those skills to the PTSO. Outside of work and parenting, I love reading (my goal is 50 books a year), baking, and trying new recipes. I’m looking forward to helping make Riley a great school community for all of our kids for years to come.
