Hi, my name is Lindsay Koskenoja. My birthday is December 14. This is my second year with MVA. I live in Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula with my husband Jay and my cat Bubbles. My favourite food has to be either pasta (specifically gnocchi) or almost any type of Indian food. When I'm not working, I love to play Animal Crossing, practice my running (I'm trying to work my way back up to a second marathon!) and of course, treat yourself spa days. I'm happy to share a birthday month with so many lovely coworkers :)

Hello, I am Kim Vasquez and my birthday is Dec. 18th-I will be 55 and so love being this age! My husband and I have been married since 1988 and have 6 kiddos as well as 5 grandchildren. I was born in Mobile, Alabama and grew up in Baton Rouge, La. --I have lived in Michigan for 25 years now. I am a praise dancer and flagger at my church. I love to walk on nature trails, work in my flower gardens, spend time with my family, watch old movies on the projector in our backyard, and I love to sit outside and just listen to the sounds around me. I am Native American from the MOWA band of Choctaw Indians of southern Alabama. My great-grandmother was a full- blooded Choctaw Indian. I DO NOT LIKE TO COOK--LOL!  The book "The Say the Wind is Red" by Jacqueline Anderson Matte is about the Alabama Choctaw Indians and contains many names of my ancestors.  I love working with everyone at MVA because I love all the care that is exhibited by each of you on a daily bases regardless of your roles not only for each other but certainly for the students and their families. We have the power to make differences in the lives of everyone we meet-even if for a moment and only if to exchange a smile!

Hello all!  My name is Tina Kelly.  I am starting my 3rd school year with MVA.  I am currently a HS team lead and 21F labs, I mostly work with students in the Parchment Lab (a tailored program with the school district).
We are a blended family with 5 kids (3 mine, 2 his) and 5 grandkids ranging from 11 years to 8 months.  This is a busy time of year for me keeping up with all those gifts.
On my birthday I will turn 49 and my youngest who shares a birthday with me will turn 17.  (It makes me sad)

When I'm not working at MVA I have an online ecommerce business that I run and I love sourcing at the thrift store and retail shops for merchandise.  Reading is also a love but  usually I settle for listening to a book while I work.

Hello from Arizona! I'm Andrea Hild and this is my 11th year working in education. It is also my 1st year teaching 3rd grade for MVA. Originally, I am from Minnesota but wanted to live somewhere warmer so I headed to Arizona right after college. I have a masters degree in educational administration and am currently pursing my doctorate in adult learning. My favorite foods are tacos and coffee. My hobbies are crafting, reading, cooking and riding around the desert. I have a 4 year old little girl who was born with a syndrome called Ameila. This means she was born without arms. So in our family we truly "don't need two" and use our feet for most day to day activities. I hope you all have a blessed holiday season.
