New Prague hires new Assistant Activities Director

Linzy was born and raised in Tallahassee, FL. She graduated college in four years from Concordia University, Saint Paul with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration, a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Sports Management, and a minor in Coaching.

Before her time at Visitation she was the Adult Volleyball Coordinator for North Country Region Volleyball since 2011.

Kira is looking forward to trying new sports as she starts her journey as a Trojan and playing outside, no matter the weather. Colt enjoys trucks and playing outdoors. They all enjoy being with family, boating, being outdoors, and swimming. Linzy is looking forward to becoming part of the New Prague Trojan community.
