Nicole Padilla
Iowa Curriculum Specialist
Nicole's passion for education began back in 2010. Having children of her own opened her eyes to how important it is to help build a foundation for education at home, but to also partner and support the teachers that are helping to shape our youth. She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing from Metropolitan State University in Denver and plans to pursue a Master’s Degree in Education as soon as her younger daughter starts Kindergarten. Nicole enjoys hiking, snowboarding, and almost everything else you can do outside, along with spending time with friends and family.
