Ayesha Yerra
Originally from California, my husband and I have proudly called Lake Highlands home for just over two years. With two energetic young boys and our lovable dog, life is busy, loud, and full of joy. I have a deep love for good food, meaningful travel, and a well-thrown theme party. After relocating and starting fresh, I joined the PTA board to help foster community and connection with other families. I'm passionate about creating opportunities for parents to come together, get involved, and feel at home. I'm looking forward to a fun year ahead as we grow together as neighbors and friends!

VP of Membership, Howdy! I'm excited to be serving on the Board for my third year. My husband and I have lived in Lake Highlands since 2016 and absolutely love this community. We have a fun-loving 3-year-old named Jace and three sweet rescue pups who keep us on our toes. I'm looking forward to a fantastic year ahead, meeting new families, making memories, and continuing to support our amazing PTA.

VP of Programs, Taylor ShahAhmadi Hi, again! This is my third year being part of the LHAECPTA. My family moved to Dallas 3 years ago and this amazing group has helped us settle into our new community. With an energetic, superhero 5 year old son, a sweet and sassy 2 year old daughter and another baby girl due this fall, we are looking forward to continuing to grow in Lake Highlands! I love to throw a good party, but even more so connecting with other young families in the process. When I'm not planning events, you can find me reading, out on the lake or hanging out with family and friends!

VP of Communications, Tara Thomas Hi! I’m excited to serve as VP of Communications this year. My husband and I have lived in Lake Highlands for 10 years and love calling it home. We have two energetic kids, Wyatt (6) and Olivia (4)who inspire me to stay involved in our community. Originally from New York, I work in marketing and value the power of clear, engaging communication. I’m focused on keeping members informed and connected through our newsletters. When I’m not working or volunteering, I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. Always happy to connect, say hello anytime!

VP of Fundraising, Lindsey Morris I’m stepping into a leadership role with the Lake Highlands Early PTA this year. My husband and I both grew up in this area, and it means a lot to us to be raising our growing family here. Our toddler keeps us on our toes, and we’ve got another little one on the way. I have a background in operations and strategy, and I love putting those skills to work behind the scenes to help events run smoothly and make it easier for parents to get involved. When I’m not planning PTA activities or navigating pregnancy cravings, I’m usually chasing my daughter around the neighborhood or searching for the best iced coffee in town.

Treasurer, Ilea Dilluvio Hi! I’m excited to be serving on the board for the first time this year as Treasurer. I’ve been involved with the PTA for four years and love being part of this supportive and fun community. I work in finance and my husband and I moved to Dallas from New York about 10 years ago. We have a princess-loving 4-year-old daughter, a newly mobile 1-year-old son and a sweet dog who rounds out the chaos! I’m looking forward to a fun and memorable year ahead!

Parliamentarian, Emilee Terry I joined the Lake Highlands Area Early Childhood PTA four years ago, looking for a way to connect with other parents—and it’s been such a great experience. My husband and I have been in Lake Highlands for over a decade (though he’s a boomerang who grew up here), and we’re raising two awesome kids: an energetic eight-year-old boy and a curious three-year-old girl. Most days, you’ll find me decoding Minecraft lingo or memorizing every Disney character in existence. When I get a break from responsibilities, I love reading and chatting about books. This is my third year on the board, and my first as Parliamentarian. I’m excited to help expand our PTA’s presence in the Lake Highlands community, connect parents with their support systems, and bring new fun experiences to our littles.

RISD Liaison, Claire Wilson Hi y'all! I'm a seventh-generation Texan and first-generation Lake Highlands resident and am excited to continue serving on the board for this wonderful organization. I'm a lawyer for 7-Eleven (my kids like to say I work at "the slurpee store") and proud mom of two wonderful boys, Jack (6) and Archer (4). We also have two energetic dogs, Sergeant Noodle and Nacho! In my (very little) free time, I love to read and talk about books!
