A little something about Kayce

My family loves to go camping. We try to go several times throughout the summer and in 2020 we camped our way across America, traveling from Colorado to North Carolina and back.

If you could travel anywhere – where would you go and who would you take with you?

I would love to travel with my husband to Greece and then take my family to Germany so they can see where my mom grew up.

Favorite dish or type of food to eat

We have such a fun foodie group in Admissions! I love eating good cajun food – it’s hard to find here in CO, so a trip to New Orleans is always a good opportunity to eat well!
