MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Trish (Harjes) Kelley
Treasurer / Director of Media
I have four children at TKCU: Tristin, Sawyer, Rory, and Charly. We have been with Courtney since 2021 and have been at TKCU since it opened. I work in website development and marketing and my husband runs a computer manufacturing business. It has been amazing to see the school grow and I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Ashley Malfitano
Vice President / Director of Volunteers
I am excited and honored to serve as Vice President on the Friends of TKCU Board. My husband, Brian, is a fireman in Plano, and we have been married for 14 years. We are blessed with three wonderful daughters: Ava, Maddie, and Sophia. Our oldest daughter attends middle school in Prosper, while our younger two are students at TKCU. When I am not involved with my daughters activities, I am an entrepreneur. My mom and I are business partners in an eCommerce marketplace and handbag company, Kinsey Rhea. TKCU has been a tremendous blessing for our family, providing a nurturing environment where our daughters can blossom and grow.
Bonnie Woolam
Secretary
I am excited and honored to serve as the secretary on the Friends of TKCU Board. My husband and I have been married 31 years with the last twenty of those years having been spent as McKinney residents. We have three kids. However, my youngest likes to call herself our only “child”. Our boys are young adults with one living/working in Dallas and the other attending Texas A&M University. Our daughter, Samantha, is 10 years old and is attending TKCU for her second year starting August 2024. I am a Texas A&M graduate and have worked as a certified residential appraiser for near 25 years. I currently volunteer with Cub Scouts, as a Bible school teacher, at TKCU, and at NTPA Fairview.
