Jana Bledsoe

I had the privilege of joining the Friends School community in 1998 as the Program Coordinator and continued in that capacity until 2005 at which time I moved to Denver for my daughter to attend the Denver School of the Arts.  I am thrilled to be back at Friends working closely with our admin team.
 
Prior to Friends School, my experience included serving as director of clerical standards for a group of mental health clinics in Minnesota, managing a commercial photography studio in Los Angeles, working as office manager and later the national sales support director of a west coast software company, and most recently executive assistant to the Vice President of Johnson and Wales University in Denver.
 
I have been fortunate to work in many different industries and have had the good fortune to work with some amazing people, but I have never been happier or more invested in my work than at Friends. The mission, vision and values of the school are ideals that I hold dearly and it is a gift to come to work each day and be a part of this wonderful community.
 
In my spare time I enjoy cooking, cycling, meditation, and spending time with my 2 shitzus, Charlie and Rusty.

Challenging minds. Nurturing spirits. Honoring individuality.
