“Hello, I’m Mrs. Russell. This is my first year teaching at WMAES and I love how friendly and welcoming everyone has been! I’m so excited to be part of the WMAES family! Some background about me is that I have a bachelor’s degree in business with a concentration on green and sustainable enterprise management. I completed the Graduate Teacher Certification program at Grand Valley and am certified to teach secondary math and economics. I’m a veteran of the Army Reserves where I was a paratrooper and a chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear specialist. In my free time I enjoy reading and spending time with my family.”
