Teachers
Kimberly Nichols, 7th-8th Grade Teacher/High School Math Teacher
I currently teach a wide variety of classes, from 6th to 12th grade, at Paisley School--evidence that I like new challenges and learning new things! My husband and I first moved to Paisley in 2015, when I began teaching 5th and 6th grade here. We spent two years living in Guatemala right after COVID, and later returned to a school I love being a part of! We have 4 adult children (and their spouses), 8 amazing grandchildren, and enjoy the diverse beauty of Oregon climates. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, reading, and a good cup of coffee!
Mary O'Leary, K-2nd Grade Teacher
My name is Mary O’Leary. I currently teach grades K-2 at Paisley School. I have been married to my husband, Mike, for 39 years. We have two daughters and one son. All of them are married and have families of their own, living in or close to Paisley. I enjoy spending time with our children, their spouses and our seven grandchildren. I also enjoy walking, reading and traveling.
Victoria O'Leary, Academic Counselor/Registered Teacher/ASPIRE Coordinator/Co-FFA Advisor
Emma Shanahan, 2nd-4th Grade Teacher
Katie Wolff, 5th-6th Grade Teacher
Mrs. Wolff grew up in Billings, Montana with an older brother and younger sister. They teased her relentlessly, which is where she gets her good sense of humor. She obtained her Bachelor's of Mathematics degree from Montana State University Billings, did her student teaching in Hawaii, and went on to get her Masters in Curriculum Coordination and Instruction from SOU. She values and loves her husband and three boys! Hobbies include sourdough and gardening.
Grace Rossetti, High School Math & Science Teacher
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.
