Hi there! I'm DJ Groves — a proud Fort Collins native with a heart for adventure, connection, and making a positive impact. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Media Communication (with a minor in Sociology) from Colorado State University, and later went on to complete my Master’s in Special Education from the University of Northern Colorado.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with students across all grade levels, K–12, and I’m currently coaching girls' tennis at CLPMS — my third year coaching in PSD! I love encouraging growth, building strong relationships, and creating a fun, supportive environment both in the classroom and on the court.
Outside of education, I’ve followed my curiosity and creativity around the world — from filming the TV show Rainbow Surprise, to participating in fashion shows, editorial photo shoots, hospital galas, and Industry Night events. No matter the setting, I bring a strong work ethic, an open heart, and a love for storytelling.
In my free time, you’ll most likely find me playing tennis, hiking, backpacking, or capturing life through my camera lens. I absolutely love traveling and discovering new places — especially if I can bring my cat, Kitty, along for the adventure! I also enjoy spending time with friends and family, soaking in good vibes and great conversations.
