Alina Bradbury, Special Education Teacher

My name is Alina Bradbury and I am an interim Special Education teacher with Lake County Educational School District (ESD). I reside in Lakeview and travel weekly to schools.
I have been providing services to many schools within Lake County, Paisley being one.
I have been serving Paisley for 5 years consecutively. Paisley is very special to me and I enjoy coming to work with students, collaborating with staff and being part of the community by attending sports and other Paisley activities. I’m thankful to work at a very unique school and enjoy all the students I get to work with throughout the school year.
When I’m not teaching or at work, I am spending most of my time with my son, dogs, and whatever adventures come. Some of our favorite things to do together are hiking, running/walking the dogs, looking for rocks, and building legos! We love to travel to visit family in California when we get the opportunities to do so. I enjoy gardening and being active outdoors. We have two horses that are very spoiled and get lots of attention. We love going to beaches and collecting shells/sea glass. Our favorite beaches are Pismo Beach, Balboa, and Bodega Bay. We stay fairly busy outside of school but do enjoy an occasional home movie experience and doing fun art projects at home. We have been experimenting with resin and making some cool stuff with it.
I’m looking forward to another great year in Paisley and being able to help students on IEPs feel empowered and confident in their academics.
