Hello! My name is Misty Welburn and I am thrilled to be a part of the Best Brains team. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Western Michigan University and am a licensed teacher in the state of Michigan.  I have been a dedicated and passionate teacher for the past 20 years and have experience teaching all subjects. What I have enjoyed most about teaching is the connections and relationships that I have built with the students throughout my career, as well as fostering both academic and personal growth within the students I have had the pleasure of working with. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling up north with my husband and our two labs, spending time with our adult children, and gardening along with canning the produce from my garden. I am excited to begin working with the children at Best Brains while building successful skills and relationships!

Hello, Grew up in the small town of Chelsea, raising lambs. The money went to college. I went to Jackson Community College and Western Michigan University. I taught K-3rd graders and substituted through 6th grade. I've lived in Richland for 20 years and am married with 3 step-children and 2 shelties. I spend my time reading, writing, and going on nature walks.
