Reach out to me using the form below, and we'll set something up.
Thanks!

Vero is a Spanish professor at Gettysburg College who lives with her husband, Joe, and their adorable dog, Jax. She was born in Mexico, grew up in New Mexico, and loves traveling all over the world.

An optimistic philomath, Lisa Sands, mother of two young women, is an enthusiastic bundle of energy and teacher of English, journalism, and various group fitness classes. Usually awake well before dawn, Lisa enjoys enriching her understanding of cultures, religions, and philosophies. Lisa says she enjoys a little bit of everything - she officially hates making decisions - therefore she is willing to try anything once.
Wade Fulton has been mistaken for the actor Vincent D'Onofrio on many occasions, including one notable night in Austin, Texas. He likes people less than he used to and enjoyed the COVID-19 isolation way more than he feels he should have. He's an English teacher, has two boys, and is married to a structural engineer; all of his passwords have something to do with famous novelists, but he can never remember them and spends a great deal of time following recovery links. Wade loves baseball, is a life-long supporter of the Boston Red Sox and loves music and travel. Wade isn't sure he believes that the self is anything terribly significant, just a mechanism for understanding 'the other' and understands that change comes from within but sometimes these are more matters of accepting who you are.
Jenna is a mom of two boys, the owner and artist of Skulljoy Design, and a next-level neighborhood party planner. Exceptionally gifted at designing themed tablescapes and atmospheric vibes, Jenna has created a beautiful home that is one of the most inviting on the block. While her artful eye deserves respect, it is Jenna's warmth, spirit of fun, and mischievous wit that make her a true delight as a friend and partner in artistic endeavors.
Michelle's outstanding leadership, organizational, and creative skills have inspired colleagues and students for over 30 years. Besides being one of the best teachers I've ever had the pleasure to learn from, Michelle is a self-proclaimed lifelong learner. She's taught herself an array of home improvement skills and is never quite "done" updating and beautifying her interior spaces. That's especially true of the chambers of her gray matter! In transition as her children become young adults, Michelle currently investigates a more self-focused future-- excited about the many possibilities of a work and self-care balance.
