I am a mother of five, a Navy veteran, and a part time dental hygienist. In my free time I love to sing karaoke and spend time with my family. My Daughter's Dress is an endeavor from the heart! I think everyone is beautiful and unique in their own way! My hopes and goals for this organization is that it will open doors for ones who are less fortunate and would not otherwise be able to attend their prom or homecoming or have the wedding of their dreams. I pour my blood sweat tears and heart entirely into this organization and I hope people see just how much it truly means to me! Everyone deserves that! Help me help others' dreams come true.​

 SECRETARY Hi! I’m Kim Rommen. After being home for months due to quarantine I began to search for a volunteer opportunity for me and my 15 year old daughter. I’m thrilled to have found My Daughter’s Dress Boutique! I live here in Aurora with my husband Jim and two kids Grace (15) and Gavin (14). In my former life I was a social worker, but since having kids I’ve had a home daycare. I find my greatest purpose when I’m helping people, which is why My Daughter’s Dress is a perfect fit for me!

EVENTS COORDINATOR Hi, I'm Jess! I am a wife and full time mother of 3. In my free time I run a small yoga and wellness business. I love helping others and love being able to serve as a board member for My Daughter's Dress. A friendship of 25 years with founder Mary Garcia, is just one of the reasons this organization is so near and dear to my heart. Having daughters of my own makes me want to inspire them as they grow, to serve their community and other young ladies that may be less privileged or fortunate but still have the same wants and needs as they grow to be confident women.

TREASURER  As a social worker, empowering others has been a lifelong passion of mine. Being a part of an organization that provides equitable opportunities for others to feel their best is a natural fit for me.  I have been a social worker for over 20 years, and am currently employed as a professor at a local university and am also part of a private clinical practice providing therapeutic services to children, adolescents and adults. As a mother of two daughters, having the opportunity to promote self-esteem and positive self-image through the opportunities provided by My Daughter’s Dress is an ideal fit. I am grateful to take part in these efforts with this organization.
