Jessica Lazarus
Co-Chair
Jessica and her family have been dedicated members of the Pali Elementary community since 2020. In that time, she has had the opportunity to volunteer in various PEP roles as well as in the classroom and beyond at Pali. Jessica and her husband Jared, originally east-coasters, have called Los Angeles home for over twelve years, and the Palisades for the past five. She has worked as an in-house attorney and legal consultant for various entertainment and consumer products companies and is looking forward to bringing her experience to the PEP Board. Jessica has two daughters, Fiona (3rd grade) and Quinn (kindergarten).

Ellen's extensive experience as a treasurer in both corporate functions and the women initiative community positions her to handle the financial responsibilities of PEP. We are confident that her skills and dedication will greatly benefit PEP and the entire school community. Ellen's daughter Maxine will be in 1st grade. Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Ellen!
