Krista Palm
Coordinator
​
This is Krista’s 3rd year in The MomCo and 2nd year as a leader.
To her, The MomCo is about finding yourself and your tribe. Being a new Mom, she’s learned how tough the days can be sometimes. She joined The MomCo to make new friends and get the support she knew she would need in these early months of motherhood. She found a group of encouraging women who understood what she was going through. And they made her laugh and have a lot of fun too! She likes to joke that it’s like a sorority for Moms!
Krista has a two-year-old daughter who loves swimming, music, dogs and emptying out a toy bin. She met her husband Brandon at work when they bonded over performing in musical theatre. They have been married for 18 years and moved here from Maryland in 2018. You will find them at Disney or out and about Winter Garden. Napping has become a new hobby of theirs. Having a little one is exhausting, they get sleep when they can.
Krista works full-time as a Field Implementation Coach for State Farm Insurance and is a Thirty-One Gifts Consultant. She loves people and is passionate about making others feel valued and seen. She also loves Disney and all things musical theatre. In her spare time she enjoys reading, planning some kind of event or trip, Face Timing with friends or family, eating great food and traveling.

Jennie Hanson
Finance Lead
​
Jennie is a wife, Army logistics vet, and stay at home mom of 4 boys. She met her husband Andrew though eHarmony 9 years ago. Her oldest son, Nate graduated from high school this year (2024) while her younger three are ages 7 (Gideon), 6 (Oliver) and 3 (Elliot). Jennie spends her time homeschooling her three younger children and chauffeuring them around to their various enrichment activities as well as therapy sessions for her 7-year-old who has ASD.
During her limited free time, she enjoys baking, crafting, crocheting, sipping coffee while watching mindless shows, and spending one on one time with her hubby (especially at EPCOT).
This is her 4th year in this MomCo group. She started attending virtually during Covid and eventually made her way towards in person meetings. She not only met one of her closest friends because of this wonderful group but was also able to strengthen lifelong bonds with a few others as well!
Though she does miss the bedtime routine with her kids occasionally to attend her “Mommy meetings” as her kids call it, she makes sure they know that meetings help her to be the best mommy she can while also being there for other mommies too!
Sarah Diaz
Table Team Lead
​
Sarah has been with The MomCo for the past five years. She has three children ages 13, 12 and 4.
Her children often ask her why she goes to The MomCo and she usually tells them “It’s because I need to learn how to be a better Mom.” They always respond, “You are a good mom! You don’t need MomCo!” But she says, she knows The MomCo does help her be a better Mom. Without The MomCo, she would feel like a small ship floating alone in the vast ocean. The MomCo is the lifeline that helps her feel connected with other moms while trying to navigate the seas of motherhood together.
When she is not going to The MomCo, or hanging out with her kids, she is binge watching True Crime podcasts or reading a new book.
She met her husband in Richmond, Virginia and they moved to Florida in 2018. They have been married 6 years and enjoy going to amusement parks and traveling.
She works from home as a Laboratory application support analyst. Working from home can be isolating so she enjoys being out of the house as much as possible when it’s not working hours.
