President
My name is Robert Bradford, I have 4 children (ages 4, 17, 19, 21). I served in the Army for 15 years and work as a chef for 8 years. I studied at Le Cordon Bleu in Georgia. I love children and after my injuries from the Military has caused me to change my career, I was asked what I wanted to do and I didn’t hesitate. I want to be a teacher. I am looking forward to making a difference in the lives of today's youth. I am in the Elementary Ed program and will transfer to IUPUI. I am excited about being your ITSEA President and look forward in meeting everyone. Please join us for some fun this upcoming year and help us make a difference in the community!
Vice President
My name is Brandon Phelps. I am from Franklin, Indiana and moved up to Indianapolis 2 years ago. I would like to teach 3rd grade at first because I like working with kids and helping them grow. Eventually I would like to teach high school science classes and coach for the diving team. I can't wait to start teaching kids and helping them grow. Because when kids get that expression on their faces of excitement and joy when they finally realize they have caught on to something is the greatest feeling to have knowing you were a part of that.
Secretary
My name is Kiley Pardieck. I am the new secretary of ITSEA. I am a very artsy person, I absolutely love drawing and doing photography. I don't have any children of my own, but I do have a puppy that I treat like my child. I graduated from Delta High School in Muncie, Indiana in 2011 and attended Ball State University that Fall. Many people love BSU, but it just was not for me. I am currently an Elementary Education major here at Ivy Tech and plan to transfer to IUPUI in the spring of 2015. I hope to earn a dual license in English as a Second Language while I am at IUPUI. I have always had a passion for children and I would love to help make a difference in their lives. I cannot wait to see the exciting things that are to come this next year in ITSEA, and I really hope you are able to join our team!
