Hi, my name is Mrs. Rollins. I started working at Twin Falls in 2016. I was born and raised in southern Virginia and spent ten years there raising my kids. I love warm temperatures, and until I moved to Idaho, I didn’t even mind the humidity (now I’m spoiled by the dry climate), but I still love sunshine and being outside when it’s warm. My favorite things to do are hiking, paddle boarding, taking long walks, and hitting East coast or Florida beaches every summer. I also love to read WWII fiction and nonfiction when I have time, but hands down, my favorite thing to do is spend quality time with my family. I am the Key Club advisor. My amazing husband Paul and I have six kids. Five boys and one girl ranging in age from 13-21. Each of my children are lovely people. I won’t take the time to prove it with evidence now, but you can trust me. They are. I am the luckiest to call them mine.
