HAILEY
Do you follow us on Instagram and Facebook? If yes, then you already know Hailey. As our Social Media Specialist, she sees the big picture of building brand awareness but can also zoom into the details of designing social graphics and content. Hailey also answers all your questions on social media and is obsessed with social trends and data. And, she’s a former kindergarten and 1st grade teacher who holds a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction. As a born-and-raised Montanan, she didn’t ride a horse to school…at least, not usually. Giddyup!

LAURA
Laura holds two important roles: Curriculum Director and Integrator. As Curriculum Director, Laura leads the research, planning, and development of the high-quality resources that Mrs Winter’s Bliss is known for. But in her role as Integrator, she oversees our day-to-day operations. As a former 2nd grade teacher and elementary school librarian, Laura’s passionate about providing the support and resources she knows from experience that teachers need. The final “craic” on Laura is that she once lived and worked in Ireland for a year as an au pair.
