Paige Iversen Curley was one of Silverwood’s first students. She sent us the following update. My educational journey began when I attended the Farm Montessori preschool followed by Silverwood School through the 5th grade. I credit Silverwood for providing me with a strong academic foundation and an immense passion for learning. As a student, I was encouraged to explore, question, and seek learning. The teachers involved me in my education versus having me be a spectator. The skills I gained from Silverwood definitely contributed to my successful educational career. My favorite Silverwood School memory was our road/camping trip around Washington state for a week. Each student got to select a county to research and was then responsible for planning all of the educational activities for that section of the trip. It was quite the adventure! After leaving Silverwood (Pre-K thru 5th), I spent one year at Brownsville Elementary School in our neighborhood. Then I attended Ridgetop Junior High and Olympic High School where I graduated in the class of 1997. I pursued the Trojan Scholar Award and received recognition for academic success. I played volleyball in high school. I decided to attend Pepperdine University in Malibu, California where I pursued a BS degree in Nutritional Sciences, graduating cum laude in 2001. After college, I applied for and was accepted into a one year paid internship at the UCLA -VA Hospital where I received my Registered Dietitian license. I married my husband Jerod in 2004 and he graciously moved us back to Seattle in 2007 to be near family. Now I enjoy traveling, cooking, working out, walking my pug, and chasing after my one year old daughter, Reese. I am currently working part time as a Special Markets Senior Consultant for Novartis pharmaceuticals. My responsibilities include working with large integrated health systems to develp partnerships on key health initiatives and educating medical providers on our cardiovascular treatment options. |
