Get To Know Me:

I have played volleyball for 20 years. I play sand volleyball every week and I ref division 1 and division 2 college volleyball. I love to read (it's like going on an adventure or escaping to another reality from your couch), I love to travel and meet new people, I like hiking and hanging out with my dog.

I have a puppy named Toby. He is about 7 and the most perfect, cuddly, wiggly dog in the world.

My favorite book series is Harry Potter. It is an epic adventure about friendship, bravery, resilience and belonging. 

I went to the Art Institute to study fashion - I thought it would be fabulous to live in New York, but then I realized I could never leave Colorado. Then I got my masters at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

My favorite thing to do when I was my student's age was playing outside.

It is so hard to choose my favorite food! I love food. I love Mexican food, pizza, pasta, chips, ice cream, cheese, and I will try anything once. You never know what new food you might fall in love with!

Getting to know me:

My favorite book to read aloud is The Adventures of Beekle. It is a beautiful blend of imagination and kindness that I will be reading this year to the class.

I went to college at Virginia Tech! I'm far away now, but I'll always be a Hokie at heart. I even have a few Hokie items in my room if you can find them. 

When I was in 1st grade, I LOVED swimming (and still do). I would wear a swimsuit all summer if my mom let me and would play mermaid with all my friends!

Getting to know me:

I have two cats! Taco is eight years old and Harold is my new kitten!

My favorite thing to do when I was in first grade was play make-believe games outside with my friends. Riding bikes and jumping on trampolines was also really fun!

My favorite food is tacos (hence my cat's name Taco) and ice cream!

I like to be outside, make crafts, color/doodle, and I love listening to live music.

Getting to know me:

I live with my husband, our two children, and our dog. We love to travel and have been to many states in our camper. We also love hiking, camping, skiing, and paddleboarding. I grew up in Iowa and we go back home to visit our family often.

I have a lab mix named Annie. She is such a sweet girl! Annie's favorite thing to do is eat followed closely by going for walks, hikes, and traveling with us. She also loves snow and will bury her face in soft powder!

I can never pick just one favorite book! I love to read and really enjoy the Ramona Quimby series and the Penderwick series.

I got my undergrad at Iowa State University and my master's at Regis University.

When I was in 1st grade, I loved reading, dancing, and painting!

I love cheese pizza, macaroni and cheese, and homemade sourdough bread.
