In 2018, she worked with other parents to champion passage of a Virginia state bill that increased the opportunity for unstructured recreational time for students in schools, aimed at developing teamwork, social skills, and physical fitness.

Pekarsky holds a master’s degree in Multicultural and Multilingual Education and a bachelor’s degree in American Government and Politics, both from George Mason University.

Pekarsky and her husband are co-owners of a local air charter company based in Manassas, Virginia. She is the director of the customer and flight locating services. Pekarsky lives in Centreville with her husband and their six children.
