Congratulations to Our 2023-2024 PTA Life Members!!

Sadaf Abdullah

I am an intellectual property attorney and I currently work as the Director of Patent Assertion at the telecommunications company Ericsson. I am also an adjunct professor at a couple of local professional schools. In addition to my work and involvement with the PTA, I serve on our neighborhood's HOA board and on the boards of several professional organizations. In the bit of free time I have left over, I enjoy traveling with our family, listening to true crime podcasts, and riding my Peloton bike. 

I am the Reflections Chair this year for the Robinson PTA. I have served as PTA President for 2023-2024 at Daffron Elementary and I was the VP of Communications prior to that. My PTA work has been one of the most rewarding experiences I've had as a mom. It is truly amazing how much our PTA supports our school and its activities, and I hope to help continue this strong tradition in the coming years. I have a seventh grader at Robinson, a 4th grader at Daffron, and a Kindergartener at Daffron. We are very committed to our schools' communities.
