Heading 3
Meet Our Leaders
JULIANNE THOMAS
Coordinator
​
Hi, my name is Julianne Thomas and this will be my sixth year at MOPS! I'm married to my college best friend, James and we have three little ones-- Jackson, Liliana, and Hailey! Motherhood has been a rollercoaster ride, filled with highs, lows, messes, chaos, major transformations and lessons learned. I'm so excited to continue to learn and grow alongside other moms at MOPS... especially after being stuck at home with three kids since March :)
MAGGIE WALKER
Assistant Coordinator
​
My name is Maggie Walker and I am privileged enough to be a part of this wonderful MOPS community as the Assistant Coordinator. I have 3 littles, Roman, Gracelynn and Zion. We also have an older man-child, Tony (21), who came into our lives and is now a part of our family. I am blessed enough to have married my best friend, Dave, who I fell in love with at first sight. As long as we have been married we have been blessed enough to be in full-time Christian ministry in one way or another at Willowdale Chapel. I am currently tackling the most beautiful and humbling experience of my life, being a full-time mom. I love every second and am loving how it is refining me, changing me, and opening up my heart in ways I never imagined.
AMANDA IRWIN
Hospitality
​
My name is Amanda Irwin and I'm excited to be joining the steering team this year as the registration/finance coordinator. My husband Kevin and I were high school sweethearts and together we have a daughter, Ellen (2.5), and a son, Henry, who was born in January. Having gotten married and becoming a mother at a relatively young age, I often struggle to find a place that I "fit." Most people my age are not in this stage of life! That's why I am so thankful for the MOPS community that has given me a place of validation, support, friendship & belonging, to celebrate this gift of motherhood with!
KRISTIANNA NELSON
Finance
I’m Kristianna and after two years as a DGL, I’m excited to join the steering team as the finance coordinator. This is my third full year at MOPs, and I've come to cherish the friendships and support system built through this community. I live in the Kennett Borough with my husband, Luke, and our two kids, Haakon (2.5 years) and Amalia (2 months). I work part-time at Chatham Financial and in my bit of spare time, I love baking, doing puzzles, time with family, and the beach! I'm excited for another awesome year at MOPs!
AMY VIDEON
Communications
I'm Amy and this will be my third year involved in MOPS, but my first on steering. I live in West Chester with my husband, Matt, and our two kids, Claire (3) and Luke (1). I have loved all the new friendships MOPS has created for us (both for myself and my kids), as well as the opportunity to share experiences and learn from other women who can relate. I am so excited to see what this year of MOPS brings.
ERIN SAPORITO
DGL
Hi! I'm Erin, and this is my third year serving as a DGL with MOPs. I have been married to my husband Tom for 4 years and we have one daughter, Madelyn, who is 3 years old and another girl due in August. Being a new mom, MOPs has really given me an outlet to get out of the house and meet other wonderful mothers! I love how friendly and accepting everyone is and all the fun and laughter we share together. I am looking forward to continuing to build connections with other moms and meeting new moms in the same stage of life as me.
KARA DOUGLAS
DGL
My name is Kara Douglas and I am excited to be a part of the MOPS community again this year serving as a DGL. My husband, Andrew, and I moved cross country from California to PA 2.5 years ago for work and attending MOPS for the first time at Willowdale helped me start establishing connections and dear friendships. We have two little ones, Drew (3) and Ella (1) who definitely keep us on our toes. Other than being a wife and mama, I love visiting with family and friends, painting, reading, and being at the beach. Although MOPS will look different this year, I’m excited to build connections and support each other!
