Hello! My name is Emily Nelsen, and I am so excited to be joining this wonderful start-up school community and to have the opportunity to learn and grow alongside your children this year.
I have been teaching in a variety of classroom settings for over six years, including four years with two different homeschool groups. These experiences have strengthened my love for teaching and have shown me the joy that comes from helping students discover their abilities and develop a lifelong love of learning.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Utah State University with a Mathematics Endorsement. I also earned a degree in Science from the College of Eastern Utah, where I was honored to be named the Elementary Education Department's Student of the Year.
I believe children learn best when they are actively engaged. My classroom is built around hands-on learning, movement, collaboration, and meaningful experiences that encourage curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning. I strive to create a classroom where students feel safe to ask questions, work together, and celebrate each other's successes.
When I'm not teaching, I love spending time with my husband and our four fantastically wonderful children. We enjoy exploring the outdoors together, especially visiting national parks and discovering new places in nature. At home, you'll often find me gardening—or even happily pulling weeds! Anything that gets me outside in the sunshine is a perfect day. I also love baking (especially desserts, even though salty snacks are still my favorite to eat!), watching musicals, and playing basketball or board games.
I feel incredibly grateful to be part of this new school community and can't wait to get to know each of your children. I look forward to partnering with your family to make this an exciting, memorable, and successful school year!
Jessica Stringfellow – I am a graduate of The School of Natural Healing, where I received my masters degree as a Master Herbalist with certifications as a Family Herbalist, Nutritional Herbalist, and Herbalist. I’ve continued my education taking specialized courses from various schools and I’m currently continuing my studies towards becoming a Clinical Herbalist.
My passion for herbalism comes from both education and personal experience. Through my own health journey, I’ve discovered the foundational principles of true wellness and experienced firsthand how powerful it can be to return to simple, natural supports for the body. That journey has deeply shaped my life, how I support my family, and how I teach others.
I love helping people connect with the natural world and understand the incredible design of the human body. My goal is to make herbalism approachable, practical, and inspiring—encouraging curiosity, confidence, and self-reliance as students learn to work with plants, nutrition, and nature’s tools for everyday wellness.
