SPOTLIGHT
Laura
BROWNLEE
Why did you decide to make Madison
your home?
I was fortunate to be offered a teaching position
with Germantown High School right out of
college, so that is what lead me to be a resident
of Madison.
How long have you lived in Madison?
I have lived here for almost 6 years.
Tell us about your family.
My husband, Brent, is an assistant principal at
Germantown High School, and we have two
daughters – Chloe Claire who is 4 years old,
and Everly who is 18 months.
What is your favorite memory of living
in Madison?
Although it was recent, I would have to say the
big snow we got in December 2017 is my favorite
memory so far. We loved getting to play in the
snow, and also riding around the city admiring how
beautiful everything looked covered in white.
Where are your three favorite places to eat
in Madison?
At this stage in life, we are all about the kid-friendly
places, so we like to eat at Georgia Blue, Beagle
Bagel, and of course, El Ranchito.
What are some fun things to do in Madison
on the weekends?
My girls love to visit Strawberry Patch Park, which
they fondly call “the duck park” because of all the
ducks that live there. We also like to catch the latest
movie at Malco theatre.
Share some things you enjoy doing in your
spare time.
I enjoy having “date night” with my husband, going
on trips with my family and friends, and shopping
for pretty much anything.
What are three things on your bucket list?
I want to visit Italy to explore my Italian roots,
swim with dolphins, and attend the Super Bowl—
preferably one with a Steelers victory!
Who is someone you admire and why?
I know this sounds super cheesy, but I have to say
it’s my mom. She is the most selfless, truly loving
and giving woman I know, and I aspire to be the
kind of mother and person she is.
Where do you see yourself ten years
from now?
Ten years from now, I see myself continuing my
dream job as a real estate agent in Madison, and
enjoying watching my kids grow up in one of the
best places to live!
What is your favorite childhood memory?
Some of my fondest childhood memories come
from the big family gatherings that we would have
for Thanksgiving or other holidays at my house.
With all my loved ones gathered in one place and a
kitchen filled with lots of delicious food, there were
always good times and lasting memories made.
If you could give us one encouraging quote,
what would it be?
“Nothing can dim the light that shines from
within.” – Maya Angelou
