1) This picture was taken during our engagement photo session my husband I had before we got married. The dog smooshed between us is named Orion. This picture is particularly special for me (and us!) because it has been almost a year since we said goodbye to Orion. Having professional photos with him was one of the best things I ever did over the almost 6 years we had him.

2) My name is Chelsea Fox. I currently am a high school science teacher in MCPS. I teach Honors Physics and Astronomy with Physics, which fits with my bachelors in Physics and Secondary Ed from UMD. My favorite food is anything with cheese (mac and cheese, grilled cheese, etc.). I currently have two dogs - Carina (a cavalier-poodle mix who will be 2 years in a month) and Archer (an ~1 year old Chihuahua mix we rescued about a month ago).

3) During the winter sports season, I coach Co-ed swimming and diving at the high school I work at! I also teach kids to swim part-time at a swim school.

1. Hello! This is a photo that was recently taken on a trip to New York City with my mom, sister, and myself. It is a special photo because it reminds me of the quality time we got to spend together, and that I had the opportunity to see my first show on Broadway.

2. My name is Delia Launi. This is my 5th year as a 3rd grade teacher in MCPS. I studied Elementary Education at UMD College Park. I am hoping to finish my Masters in Instructional Technology next spring. I have a sweet tooth, so my favorite food is ice cream!

Hello everyone! Here is a picture of me and my daughter. There is nothing too special about it but she just could not wait for this day and stopped calling herself a child after that day.

My name is Naushad Khan and currently I am federal employee working with the Department of Defense as a linguist. I speak 4 languages and background in English Literature and Applied Linguistics. Currently I am working on MS program in ISTC with concentration on design. I am so happy and excited to be here because this is my last class in this program. I chose this MS because it is directly related to what I do as a linguist at my current job and each class has significantly improved my performance at work.

I live in Columbia Maryland and one fun fact about me is that I am a DIYer and love to do project in and around the house. These projects make me happy. I recently remodeled my entire house single-handedly, which was absolutely a great learning experience.

Besides, I love listening to music and like to cook as well.
