They love Jesus, the beautiful little girl they have together, and the friendships they have cultivated in this community. In her spare time, she likes to read, cook, and be creative (in any way). She became the Treasurer of the Board of Directors in mid-2019, moving to Hospitality Coordinator this year. Her heart to make Bambinos a welcoming place is felt from the minute you walk in the doors. She is always looking for ways to help our families relax and enjoy their time with us.

April has been with Bambinos in some capacity, basically since its inception. She joined the Board of Directors in 2021. She and her husband, Scott, have helped with every single fundraiser auction. Bambinos is near and dear to April's heart. As a young mother, it was only because of her church family and an organization similar to Bambinos that she survived the first years as a new mom. April is now the mother of two adult sons. The family are members of Grace Community Church. She works with the DSD in special education and works as a PSW with DD services when not at Bambinos. She is a born and bred Oregonian who married her NJ-born husband in 1992.
