Hello! My name is Amanda Allard, and I am the new Building Facilitator. I graduated from UNI in 2001 with a BA in Marketing Management and earned my Master of Arts in Teaching in 2006 from Ashford University. Currently, I am pursuing my MSED at Mount Mercy to complete an administrative degree. I have enjoyed teaching at the middle and high school level, and most recently was a Business Education teacher at Xavier.
I am married to Chad, the Director of Bands at Xavier High School, and we have two children who are LaSalle alumni: Ben, 16, a junior at Xavier, and Katie, 14, a freshman at Xavier. Our dog, Bella, and two cats, Pearl and Morris, round out our family. We all (pets included) love to travel to beautiful places and camp in our travel trailer. We especially love the National Parks in the US and Canada.
I am an active member of St. John XXIII, serving on the Liturgy Committee, lectoring, and as a Eucharistic Minister. In my free time I love to read, bake, sew, garden, and do home remodel projects.
