Hi Springwoods families! I am Alex, my husband Chris and I moved to Lake Ridge in 2020. Our son Charlie is going into the 4th grade. We are a big soccer family and spend a lot of time at Howison Field. When we aren't at practice we love to travel especially anywhere with sunshine and a beach!
I work for UVA Darden supporting both the Rosslyn and Charlottesville locations. GO HOOS!
I am excited to be your President for a second year! I can't wait to see all we can accomplish this year.

Secretary
Hello Springwood Eagles!
I'm Nazia Sharif, and thrilled to be joining the PTA as your Secretary! My husband, Ramzan, and I are the proud parents of twin boys, Ibrahim and Noah, who will be starting 1st grade this fall. We truly enjoyed our first year at Springwood and are excited to get even more involved.
As VP of Operations for a cybersecurity company, I bring strong organizational and communication skills to this role, which I'm eager to leverage for the PTA. Having grown up in Woodbridge, it's been wonderful to return to the area to raise our family. When we're not hosting our large family gatherings, you'll often find us traveling to new destinations around the world or simply relaxing at the beach. I'm ready to help make this a great year for Springwoods!
