Hi, I’m Marissa! Originally from Illinois, I graduated from the University of Missouri (Mizzou) in 2017 and moved to Colorado in 2021 with my husband, Zach, and with the intent on moving home when we wanted to have kids. 3 years later we have one proud Colorado native babe, Genevieve “Gigi” (1), and no plans on leaving this great state! Before becoming a stay-at-home mama, I worked in social media for an addiction treatment center and have a passion for mental health. Gigi and I spend lots of our time hitting the town together, exploring story times and splash pads all over Denver. I am a huge Taylor Swift fan and you can always catch me and Gigi jamming out to our girl Taylor in the car. During my time at home, I discovered Denver Mom Collective, which helped me get out of the house and connect with other moms during a time I felt alone.
