Here’s a photo of my family—my parents are on the left, my sisters are on the right, and that’s me and my husband in the middle!

This summer, I’ve been perfecting my latte recipes and even started experimenting with roasting my own coffee beans! I’ve also enjoyed reading lots of great books and traveling to visit family in both Florida and Portland.

I am SO excited for this school year with you and can’t wait to make amazing memories together!

Earlier this summer, my grandma came to visit me all the way from the Netherlands, which was super special. I also got to explore Chicago with my Brazilian cousins, and my older brother and sister came from Iowa, so I had a pretty busy summer with family!

Some of my favorite things to do are eating shrimp (it’s the best!), making art, and singing my favorite songs. I love to dance at Imagine Dance Project and this summer, I got to swim on the Marlins swim team. I also went fishing with my family—my sister even caught a turtle!

I like riding my bike and spending time outside with my sister and friends. Speaking of my sister, Sienna (left in the picture), she’s starting kindergarten this year, so it’s a big year for both of us!

I’m looking forward having a great year together!

Hey! I’m Jae! I basically live on the football field/basketball court/soccer field. If I’m not playing sports, I’m probably running around with my friends or riding my electric scooter. This summer I went to a lot of football camps and met NCAA,  semi-pro, and NFL players. I play receiver AND cornerback, which means I catch balls and stop people from catching balls. I’m pretty proud that I’ve won two back to back football championships with my dad as my coach. I have a 3-year-old brother and a sister starting high school. I’m excited that a bunch of my friends are in our class this year.
