Meet Our Enrichment Team

Hi, I’m Alyssa! I have been a Registered Behavioral Therapist for 9 years, I am currently working on getting my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy to work in NICU, Early Childhood Development and/or Pediatrics. I taught Acting Lab this last semester and I am excited to continue teaching enrichment classes with NoCo Enrichment! When I am not volunteering or working with kids, I enjoy spending time outside doing anything from hiking to snowboarding with friends and family.

Hello my name is Ms.Olivia! I moved to Fort Collins from Texas to pursue a master’s degree in social work at CSU, where I’m currently a student. I am passionate about working with kids. My experience includes working with children in mental health and school-based settings from a trauma-informed perspective. I have two cats, Sabrina and Rigby, who bring so much joy into my life. In my downtime, I enjoy spending time with the people I love, reading, coloring, learning new recipes, and building LEGOs, of course!

Hi, I’m Julianna! I’m a Fort Collins native and proud mom of two boys. I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for many years while also helping care for my father, who has lived with Alzheimer’s for over a decade. These experiences have shaped my patience, empathy, and understanding of children at every stage of development. I’ve volunteered extensively in our local schools, including classroom support, three years in the elementary library, serving as PTA co-chair, and being a longtime baseball team mom. I love creating a safe, welcoming space, where kids can unwind, be themselves, and have fun while learning and playing!

Howdy!! I’m Miss Veronica! I’m originally from Texas, and currently here in Colorado studying to be a school psychologist at the University of Northern Colorado. I’m also getting to teach Lego Club with NoCo Enrichment. My favorite part of Lego Club is getting to hear the students talk about their builds.

Hi, I’m Ms. Angel! Six months ago, I moved from Chicago to Colorado, trading skyscrapers for mountain views that still make my jaw drop. Before my cross-country move, I taught Lego STEM clubs for 3 years. I’ve worked with preschoolers through high schoolers in schools, libraries, and clinics as a paraprofessional, assistant teacher, and behavior support specialist. I love making collage art, exploring new nature spots, and spending time with my two turtles, Skipper and Turtellini.

Hi, I’m Ms. Deirdre! A former NYC gal, I have been working as an actor/director for the past 20 years and I started working with PSD’s Early Childhood Education Program two years ago. Combining these two passions into NoCo Enrichment’s Acting Lab has been an absolute joy! I’m constantly in awe of the student’s overall creativity and enthusiasm for each week’s topic. I also love assisting in Art Club and seeing all the special creations the students come up with each week!

Hi, I’m Ms.Gracie! I have a passion for early childhood education and I have been working in childcare for over five years. I love being able to make help make a positive impact on the children and encourage creativity! I am so excited to continue pursuing my career in education and for this opportunity with NoCo Enrichment! 

My name is Leslie Lohmiller. The derby kids call me Plowmiller or Momma L. I have been a roller derby coach for 7 years with a nonprofit called FoCo Junior Roller Derby where I teach kids 7-17 how to skate and play roller derby. When I am not helping to run the organization or traveling with the teams, I attend graduate school at the University of Denver where I am getting a degree in Nonprofit Leadership with a concentration in Philanthropy. I love to run, row, read, and roller skate. I am also a certified Colorado gardener. I have 4 dogs, 4 cats, 2 kids, and 3 grandkids. 

I began teaching elementary music in 1999 with Poudre School District for several years & then began teaching at homeschool enrichment programs to stay home with my kids & now I am also enjoying teaching for Noco Tutoring & Enrichment programs. I have also led various music program in churches, VBS camps and used to teach mommy and me music classes when my kids were little. Hobbies and Passions: Boating, paddle boarding, waterskiing, hiking, pickleball, Zumba, singing, & acting.

Hi, I’m Rae! I’m a teaching artist and proud UNC alum with a degree in Theatre Arts. I love helping students build confidence through creativity, collaboration, and a little bit of play. I have a deep love for storytelling and believe the skills we build through theatre help shape thoughtful, well-rounded people, not just future creators of theatre.

Hi, I’m Ms. Beckie! I was an art teacher for many years, owned a painting studio where I taught hundreds of people to paint, and now I get to explore art with young students through NoCo Enrichment. I love to travel, and my favorite place I’ve visited so far is Egypt! I live in Loveland with my husband, two grown sons, and my dog Cleo and cat Lou. My favorite part of teaching with NoCo is seeing how students take an idea and get even more creative with it!
