Treasurer - Erin Troff  Treasurer@kolterpto.com

Hi, I am Erin Troff. My daughter, Robyn, has been at Kolter for the last 2 years. She is entering 1st grade and my son, Fritz, will be in kinder. Last year, I  was co-chair of the spirit wear committee and welcoming committee, and chair of the library. I volunteer whenever I can get away from work including boosterthon and field day. I was born and raised in Westbury and actually graduated from Kolter in 1998! I then went to Johnston middle school (now Meyerland) and graduated from Bellaire high school. In my spare time I love to complete puzzles, play board games, and I have a very unhealthy obsession with Glee and musicals in general. My husband and I own Chimney Rock Car Care, an auto repair shop in the galleria area. We just celebrated our 10 year anniversary in March!

Treasurer - Andrea Kahle Treasurer@kolterpto.com

Andrea is a native Houstonian and graduated from The University of Texas in Business Honors and Finance. Prior to becoming a stay-at-home mom during the pandemic, Andrea was a legal business consultant and project manager focused on process improvement, software implementations, resource optimization and internal training material development. When not helping at school or shuttling the kids around from one activity to the next, Andrea can often be found at the baseball field cheering on her favorite 3 players!
