Laura Brown

Mrs. Brown has a passion for researching, writing, and facilitating discussions using literature, history, and drama as a catalyst for development. Her graduate work included 19th and 20th century literature and film depicting classic social circumstances. Additionally, her training in the dramatic arts ranged from Theatre of the Absurd to modern theatre. Before devoting her main focus to a growing family, which included homeschooling for several years, she traveled as an education training consultant for the prestigious Institute for Research and Reform in Education (IRRE). She has taught college English Composition and Literature, as well as English as a Second Language in various capacities. Other professional experience includes wordsmithing website content and business marketing correspondence for local and national companies. Publications include numerous articles in Simply KC Magazine, Women's Edition Magazine, and The Washburn Review. as well as a story in the book Heavenly Healing: Testimonies from Lay Apostles for Christ the Returning King (DFOT).

Mrs. Brown encourages cultivating one's curiosity, leading to critical thinking and a deeper understanding of how souls experience the world. She has a love of words—their intention and inspiration, their ability to engage, humor, cut, and silence—all containing a history (etymology) connecting then to now. Using these powerful little characters to analyze cultural topics should be preserved and imparted with vigor. Mrs. Brown treasures her time spent with BC students and believes English Composition is essential.

In her spare time, she supports local pregnancy care centers and is a member of the KC, MO Rachel's Vineyard retreat team. Also a student of martial arts, she is currently working on her brown belt (and eventual blackbelt) in Israeli Krav Maga. Gardening, cooking, and teatime make her very happy. Mrs. Brown is blessed to reside with Mr. Brown and their five children in a cottage in the woods near Lecompton, Kansas.
