I have 28 years experience in Special Education at primary, elementary and high school levels.  All grades have been rewarding and the students are eager to learn.  This is my fifth year here at JWE and my home away from home.

Ms. Brazell has been in Wimberley for 23 years.  She spent 19 years teaching at WISD, first at Bowen and then at JWE.  She has two grown boys that grew up in Wimberley and two grandchildren in Wimberley.  She's so happy to be back at JWE.

Hello,

My name is Nicole Harvey, and I graduated from Angelo University in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology and a minor in Psychology.  After graduation, I worked in Sports Medicine as well as Physical Therapy and in 2018, I started teaching.  I'm excited to be teaching Physical Education because I believe health and wellness should be taught at a young age, so it's carried with you throughout life.

My husband and I live in Wimberley with our son and two dogs.  We love being a part of the Wimberley community.  I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors and watching my son play baseball.

I grew up in Northwest Houston.  I ran track and graduated from Texas A & M University.  I am a mother of two amazing girls.  I was a massage therapist for about 16 years.  In 2016 I began substitute teaching in WISD.  In 2018 I came to JWE on a permanent basis in Life Skills.  

I spent my middle and high school years here in Wimberley and am a proud member of the WHS class of '92.  After graduation, I headed to Denton to attend The University of North Texas.  In 1998, I traveled to Linares, Nuevo Leon, Mexico where I was a bilingual educator to elementary and middle school students.  I then returned to North Texas and soon met my future husband.  After being in North Texas for the better part of 20 years, in 2010, I returned to Wimberley to raise our two children in my hometown.  I feel so blessed to be a part of this community and a part of WISD.  

Although I've been a member of the Wimberley community for 4 years, this is my first year at Jacob's Well Elementary. I come from a background in preschool teaching and have moved into the Jacob's Well amazing Special Education department. I'm so excited to grow and share my passion for all students. My favorite part of my day is getting a smile or hug from them. In my spare time you'll find me spending time with my family, floating a river, or front porch sittin'.

I was born in Temple Texas.  After high school I went to Navarro College and received my Associates.  I went to Southwest Texas where I played football.  I remained in San Marcos because the area is very nice.

After S.W.T., I started working at Texas School for the Deaf in 1994. I learned sign language at an early age, because I grew up with a cousin that is deaf.  In 1998 until 2004 I was a Detention Officer at Gardner Betts.  I was married and I was blessed with 3 beautiful kids.  I had 2 girls and 1 boy.  I decided to get into the school system so that my schedule would coincide with my children's schedule.  The  first school that I worked at was Miller Middle School in San Marcos.  I was in the Focus Program.  That did give me even more experience in my field.  I worked in Comal for 5 years before I was hired at Jacob's Well in 2015. 

I never thought that I would ever be working in Wimberley because I'd never been there , or in that direction.  The people at J.W.E. are more than awesome.  The community in Wimberely is a very beautiful community.  It snowed in this area last year and I was on my way to work from San Marcos.  The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, as I drove up the long steep hills.  When I saw the blankets of snow resting on the trees below, I thought to myself "only if it were Christmas right now".  I do plan on retiring in the Wimberley Independent School District.
