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.
TIFFANI
As the Executive Assistant, Tiffani works closely with our team to manage projects and carry out professional administrative tasks. With her background as a former K-12 School Counselor and online editor, she uses her skills in collaboration, attention to detail, and advocacy to support our team in bringing the Science of Reading to busy teachers. Tiffani is deeply committed to serving educators and families and holds a B.A. in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Education.
