About Me: Heather Nelson
Hi! I am Heather Nelson. I am thrilled to be entering my fourth year at Thorpe Gordon STEM Academy as the Behavior Interventionist. Although the role is undoubtedly challenging, I am passionate about helping children navigate the complexities of emotions and behaviors. It brings me immense joy to witness the progress my students make in developing their social skills. Additionally, I enjoy collaborating with the staff to enhance their skill sets.
Personal Life
I have been happily married to my wonderful husband, Jon, for 20 years. Jon serves as a pastor at Soma Community Church, which plays a significant role in our lives. We are blessed with four incredible kiddos. Each of them is unique in their own way, and I cherish the opportunity to be their mom. Outside of working at TGSA, I also run a side business as a professional photographer. Capturing life's beautiful moments through the lens is something that I find deeply rewarding and fulfilling.
