💙💛 Muskies Share the Love 💛💙
Happy Love Month! In February, we celebrated love stories that started right here at Lakeland.
Brianna Hansen ’16 & Tramaine Robinson ’16 met in a business class in 2015 when Tramaine asked Brianna to study for an exam — and the rest is history.
Today, they live in Elm Grove with their two children (and one on the way!), balancing careers, real estate, and family life. Nearly 10 years later, their Lakeland love story is still going strong. 💙
Lakeland brought them together — and we love seeing where life has taken them.
