Bailee is a long-time Seattle resident, having moved here during high school. She has always been professionally focused on education and the role community plays in that domain, working as the Education Director at the Wallingford Boys & Girls Club, a paraprofessional in an elementary school, and a behavior technician working with children and adolescents on the autism spectrum. She minored in Education, Learning and Society at UW and is currently in a Master’s of Teaching program at Seattle Pacific University. Bailee received her first master’s degree in Behavior Analysis from Florida Institute of Technology, is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and has been thrilled by the opportunity to take an applied behavioral approach to education since joining the Morningside family in 2019. She serves on the board of directors of Seattle-based youth/arts organization Coyote Central and is a member of the Association of Behavior Analysis International. When not thinking about teaching, Bailee enjoys attending Sounders FC games with her husband and son, doing yoga, reading, and eating. Mostly eating.
