Ashley Hotz grew up in the small town of Grand Island, Nebraska where she spent most of her time swimming competitively and vacationing to the ski slopes of Summit County.  By the time she was twelve, she was definitely in love with Colorado and had decided it would someday be her home. She left for college (The University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA) with high hopes of one day becoming a structural engineer and designing roller coasters.  Four years later, she graduated from Hastings College with degrees in English and Philosophy, as well as a minor in Religion.  She has spent the last three and a half years exploring a career in Recreation Management, and while doing so discovered a great love for working with and teaching children.  Ashley started tutoring at Colorado Learning Connections in the spring of 2008, and has finally found her niche.
Dani Beavers grew up in Middletown, MD where she couldn’t wait to leave the pristine rolling hills and see more of the world beyond the beltway of Washington, D.C.  She ventured to the Midwest to attend college at Alverno College in Milwaukee, WI where she majored in Business Management and Professional Communications. From there her restless ways took her west to Frisco, CO where she has been for the past 14 years.  During this time, she has worked as an insurance agent, ski tech, waitress, bookseller and substitute teacher. She completed her Masters degree in Secondary Education through the University of Phoenix and taught at Silverheels Middle School in Fairplay, CO.  She is excited to be working once again in her community rather than trekking over Hoosier Pass each day.
