Meet Raquel

Raquel grew up in the Dominican Republic and moved to Minnesota with her family of 5 when she was 15. She adapted quickly to life as an American, and quickly mastered English along with the ins and outs of American culture. While her career involves using her organizational gifts in managing digital websites, Raquel’s true gift is in her ability to make kids, friends, and family feel welcome. She is warm, intentional, and caring. She has a high attention to detail, and easily has the loudest laugh in the room.

Occupation: Raquel works as a Digital Project Manager.

Hobbies and Interests: Baking cakes and throwing spectacular parties.

Favorite Place: Punta Cana (in the Dominican) Maria’s Café (in Minneapolis) and her closet/office (in our house)

Favorite Tradition: Going to the best Dominican restaurant in the city for dinner when Raquel’s parents visit.

Family: Raquel is the oldest of 3 siblings.

 

Meet Andrew

Andrew grew up in Richfield Minnesota as the oldest of 5 siblings. He is a proud Minnesotan, a state he is happy to call home after living in Detroit Michigan for 6 years. He loves his work as a teacher. He expects the very best from his students, and cares for them dearly. His passion for students is only matched by his fierce loyalty to our friends and family in Minneapolis. He is kind, driven, and funny. He loves to tell stories and considers it his personal responsibility to take Raquel on wild adventures in nature any chance he gets.

Occupation: Andrew teaches 9th grade Geometry at Hope Academy in Minneapolis.

Hobbies and Interests: Andrew loves biking, hiking, kayaking, along with watching Vikings, Timberwolves and Loons games.
