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