AMANDA COLE, SOCIAL CHAIR & SUNSHINE COMMITTEE
My name is Amanda and I am excited to be the Social Chair this year! I have also held the roles of President and Treasurer within this group and am excited for a role to step back in but still be involved in the group! I have 2 daughters, Ava (December 2016) and Nora (April 2020). I am homeschooling my oldest. I was born and raised in Maryland but have been in Georgia for almost 9 years now! If there is ever spare time, I like to watch tv shows, explore new areas, read, and create different projects.
DENISE FIELD, LENDING LIBRARY CHAIR
My name is Denise and I am looking forward to being the Lending Library Chair. I am originally from Germany where I met my husband who was stationed there through the military. We moved to the States in December 2005 and first lived in El Paso, Texas and then moved to Augusta, Georgia where we have lived since 2010. I enjoy going for walks as well as doing short workouts when time permits. I also enjoy baking and cooking and enjoy conversations with others and I am interested in other people's lives. I have two very sweet sons, Finn who was born in December 2019 and Luka who was born in January 2025. We are a family who loves all kinds of animals. We have been involved with AMC for over 3 years. We have enjoyed being involved in group activities and playdates and it has helped us get out of the house after Covid and to make friendships and meet like minded moms.
The Lending Library has a nice selection of different swaddles and baby carriers as well as a nursing pillow that can be tried out as an AMC member. Please get in touch with me if you are interested in trying out any of the items.
Kendra Batek-Gogolski
SUNSHINE COMMITTEE
My name is Kendra and I am excited to be on the Sunshine Committee! I have previously been on the Sunshine Committee and enjoy adding a bit of sunshine to the life of every mom. Everyone deserves to be remembered and celebrated! I was raised in Texas, then went to college in Colorado and met my husband there. We moved to South Carolina in 2020 for his job, excited to explore the east coast. We have two kids: Jether (2021) and Magnolia (2024). I enjoy getting to know people through long conversations, or rather, as long as you can have with kids haha, and hearing about their lives. I like to be in the kitchen making delicious food and outdoors hiking or playing in the water. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi! I'm Ashley Boyer.
I'm Michigan native and most recently a South Florida transplant to the CSRA. I call North Augusta, SC home these days. I'm a working momma to my conceived just before the COVID-19 Pandemic started Son. Let me just say a High Risk pregnancy hours away from family at Peak COVID craziness was an experience that left a mark lol.
My husband of 8 years and I are now deep in the "joys" of turderler (oops toddler) parenting. Our son Ethan is our only. We also have 3 kitties who we all love.
On top of my busy career as a Certified Blind Rehabilitation Therapist I also have an Podcast that I've created and co-host for our Blind Veterans and their support systems. It's called Blind Vet: Now What? And focuses on life after diagnosis.
As far as hobbies I've gotten into counted cross-stitch, general arts and crafts, light gardening, music (esp rock) and this last one might be shocking but BOOKS! I love a good escape from reality hahaha.
