Nominee Bios:
Marie Coichy Dauphin
I am mom to a first grader and have two future KSE grads at home (4 yrs and 7 mos). We are recent transplants to Smyrna, and it has been a joy to see how our oldest is flourishing at King Springs. I am a marketing strategist and focus on sustainability/social impact work. My passion is education, and I have spent a number of years working with national nonprofits doing ed advocacy. I have previous experience serving on the nonprofit board of an elementary school, and have co-founded a Saturday afterschool program. As a fairly new parent to KSE, I am excited to give back and help make our school community even better for all families.

Ashley Inglese
I currently have a daughter in K in Ms. Denney's class and I also have a 3 year old son who will be attending KS starting in 2019. I'm a Spanish teacher with 8 years of experience in the face to face classroom and I now teach online with GA Virtual School. I love the flexibility that working from home gives as I get to spend a lot of time volunteering at the school and helping out in the classroom. I really enjoyed getting my feet wet this year as it was our first year at KS and I'm looking forward to diving in even more next year!

Christina Mather
I am a stay at home mom to a son who will be starting kindergarten this fall. I also have 2 wonderful 18 month old twin sons. Before my first son was born, I worked as an Industrial Engineer Lead for 10 years and have a Masters in Systems Engineering. I have lived in Smyrna for the past 12 years & in the King Springs school district for the past 5 years. In 2015, we moved to Italy for my husband's job and will be returning to our home in Smyrna in July. After having spent the past 2 years with my son attending Italian schools, I am very excited to be able to play a more active role in his education. My husband & I feel very blessed to live in a neighborhood that we love which also happens to be in the King Springs area. I truly appreciate the level of parent involvement that goes into making King Springs great and would like to do my part in continuing to help King Springs excel in whatever way that I can.

Alecia McLochlin
I'm a stay-at-home mom to 2 daughters at Griffin Middle, a 1st grader at King Springs, and a 1 year-old future King Springer. I have previously served on the school councils at Argyle, Nickajack, and Campbell Middle. I also served as PTA President at Argyle. My background is in nonprofit management, and I currently serve on the board of the Smyrna Education Foundation. My husband, Bill, and I have always been very active and involved in our local schools, as we truly believe that parent input and involvement makes a huge difference.

Kelly Murray
I have a 2nd grade son and 4th grade daughter at KSE and have been extremely happy right from Kindergarten camp! We bought in this school district 17 years ago and have experienced the growth of our schools and community. This is my 2nd year as a representative on our School Council. For 3 years, I've been chair of Red Ribbon Week. This will mark my 3rd year as chair of Cultural Arts Day/STEAM Day. I work part time for a realtor at Keller Williams Cityside in Smyrna which gives me the flexibility to volunteer with PTA, as a chaperone and help as a room parent.
