What's something our fans would be surprised to learn about you?

Marissa |
Marissa:I am a gymnast and can walk on my hands in a handstand!
Haley M.: I'm a huge Harry Potter nerd and have loved it from the very beginning. And I love card games!
How would you describe your style?
Marissa:My style is athletic, brightly colored, and beachy.
Haley M.:Comfy! Combat boots and flannel.
Walk us through a day in your life.
Marissa: A day in my life always begins with coffee. Next I spend the day teaching middle school students sports, fitness, social skills and so many fun things in their PE class. I love running so I often run a few miles on my lunch break at work. After school I am an advisor for students in a hip-hop dance club. Once I get home I usually work out, cook a healthy dinner, and depending on the evening may head out to either a slow pitch softball game, attend youth group as a leader for high school students, bible study or go to a yoga class to unwind.
