Springboro, OH has been my hometown since 1992. I’m an SHS grad and I raised my 4 children in the 45066! My family has benefited from the support & love in this community, it truly takes a village. I responded to a volunteer request on social media in 2021 and felt drawn to get involved and give back. I had no idea how much good this festival does! I have enjoyed the challenge of wearing different hats to try to improve and help grow this festival each and every year. It’s stressful but feels good to give back!!! For my day job, I work as a Mortgage Loan Originator at Union Savings Bank. This committee is a big group project with a talented committed of volunteers who share the same love for Springboro!
