2024-2025 Officers Bios
President: Mary Birkhauser
Mary Birkhauser and her husband Ryan have four children Jack (4th grade), William
(1st grade), Eleanor (incoming kindergartener!) and Georgia (2 going on 12). They
moved to Brentwood three years ago and quickly found a home at Jordan
Elementary. Mary has served on and led parent boards since Jack’s first year in
preschool and has always enjoyed volunteering for our school communities with a
heart for supporting our administrators and teachers while building a community
for parents and families. After running events for the board this past year, Mary
is excited to move into the President role and help orchestrate the larger goals of the
PTO. With a professional and volunteer background in project management and communications, Mary looks forward to bringing those skills to the table while working with the entire board and engaging other volunteers to continue building the community of Jordan we’ve all come to love.
Treasurer: Ana Durand Pratts
Hi there! Jose (my husband) and I are proud parents of three; Sara (SMS 7th grade), Ana Sofia (SMS 6th grade), and Javier (JES 4th grade). Since we started the 21-22 JES community, I have enjoyed being a Room Parent for 4 years in a row and Room Parent Lead in one of those years. I love to volunteer at JES, whether it is planning and/or decorating for classroom and school activities (book fairs, luncheons, fall/spring photo day, parent press), or simply helping out in the classroom and/or working with the students. We love everything that entails Jordan from the Staff and PTO to the Teachers to the Students and their parents. I’m originally from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico and I have a Master's in Business Administration and Human Resources. Prior to my kids beginning elementary school, I worked as an Office Administrator, where I took on all the responsibilities of the Office Manager. Then, I worked in the Human Resources department, where I was responsible for paying Unions from different states, afterwards in the same company I moved to the Accounting department, handling most of the Accounts Payable / Accounts Receivable accounts.
Since we moved to Tennessee, I have dedicated my time to our family, the kids' schools and their extra curricular activities. I am looking forward to the possibility of bringing what I have learned so far as Assistant Treasurer and applying it to the Treasurer position, continuing getting to know all the JES families, and having the opportunity to work again with PTO to continue fulfilling all our goals.
Assistant Treasurer: Courtney Fern
Courtney has been a Jordan parent since the opening of the school, and currently has two daughters still attending JES. She has consistently volunteered with the PTO throughout the years, including taking roles like Room Parent Coordinator, Grade Level Coordinator, and chair of Movie Night. Courtney is a former high school English teacher and can now be found teaching barre classes at NoloSol in Nolensville. Her three daughters are in first (Nora), fifth grade (Elise), and seventh grade (Lila).
Secretary: Katie Little
I'm Katie Little, and I'm excited to step into the role of PTO Secretary! I am a mom of three, Carter (3rd Grade), Maggie (Kindergartner), and Charlie (7 months). Since moving to Brentwood in 2021, I've actively volunteered at school and in the community. I have served as Jordan’s Room Parent Coordinator for the last two years, helped organize events, lunches, assisted teachers and I'm also a familiar face in the cafeteria during lunch.
As the former Director of Playgroups for Las Madres in California, I honed my event planning and organizational skills. I'm adept at keeping records, managing agendas, and ensuring clear communication between parents and leadership. I understand the invaluable role teachers and staff play in our children's lives and I'll strive to support them through appreciation initiatives and communication of their needs. I'm passionate about making our school an even better place for our children, and I'm eager to work to achieve that goal.
VP of Communications: Jessica Giarratano
Before settling down in Tennessee, my husband (Tom) and I lived all over the country. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in English Communications more years ago than I care to admit. I spent many years coordinating events and handling public relations in the nonprofit sector, before deciding to stay home with our oldest son – now a third grader! Our youngest son is 3 years old and anxiously awaiting the day he too can take the bus to Jordan. As my kids got older, I eventually went back to work as a family photographer and owner of JMG Photography, LLC. I look forward to helping the Jordan PTO in whatever capacity I can!
VP of Fundraising: Natalie Creamer
Natalie Creamer is married to her high school sweetheart, John, and mom to Alice and Jack. Natalie has dedicated herself to volunteering for non-profit organizations in Nashville since relocating here in 2018. Over the last twenty years, Natalie has used her background in management, event planning and fundraising for her PTO President role at Judson Weekday preschool, Social Committee Leader for her HOA, Jordan PTO secretary last year and now as the VP of Fundraising. She is happy to be a part of the Jordan family and looks forward to continuing being of service to the school community in order to enhance student achievement and engagement.
VP of Membership: Haley Delvizis
My name is Haley Delvizis - “Reese’s Pieces Del-V-Zis”. I was born and raised in Alabama and graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Human Development & Family Studies. My husband, Chris, and I lived in Austin, Texas from 2008-2021 where I was a high school Family & Consumer Science teacher, cheer coach, and FCCLA advisor. Chris is originally from Franklin and also graduated from Auburn University. His current role with Amazon brought us “back” to Tennessee in 2023. We are thrilled to be closer to family & old friends. We have 3 kids - Ella 5th grade, Ava 2nd grade, & Everett who will be in kindergarten this year. I am looking forward to having all 3 kiddos at Jordan next year!
I have enjoyed volunteering at Jordan over the last 2.5 years serving as a room parent, field trip chaperone, hospitality committee member, and holiday cookie exchange coordinator. I am looking forward to being a part of the PTO and all of the excitement that next year has to offer!
VP of Special Events: Lyndsay Hayden
Hi! My husband, John and I have the honor of being parents to four amazing kids: Maddie (19) is a sophomore at the UTK, Denis (15) is a sophomore at Ravenwood, Charlie (7) is a second grader at Jordan, and Wesley (5) will be a kindergartner in the fall!
I am originally from Ohio but have been in the area for over 15 years. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Marketing and Graphic Design (with an emphasis in sports) from the University of Kentucky. I have had the privilege to work for a few fortune 500 sport companies before switching fields to the education world. I have a Masters in Special Education and Behavior Analysis. I have worked in Williamson County as a special education teacher and Autism Consultant for over 13 years. In 2018, I left the district to be a “stay at home” mom, which kept me busier than when I was working full time ☺. Over the last 5 years, I have served on our HOA, planned events for our neighborhood and served on the board for many nonprofits around the area including Autism Tennessee, MomCode, and currently, Blind Early Services Tennessee (BEST). Currently, I work part time as a behavior therapist and have joined the Jordan Jet staff as a part time PE teacher. It has been amazing being part of the JES community as a parent and teacher. I am excited to for the opportunity to be involved with the PTO and continue to find ways to bring our community together.
