Aubrey Hulsebosch
Board Member
Cura Personalis, a Latin term that translates as “care for the entire person”, was one of the very first phrases Aubrey learned upon entering her freshman year as an undergraduate student at Marquette University. During her time at Marquette, she came to appreciate and understand the term’s deeper meaning, which calls for the recognition of other’s unique circumstances and concerns, a respect of their particular talents and experience, helping individuals to grow, and caring for their needs. With the opportunity to serve as a board member of the Hulsebosch Hope Foundation, Aubrey is grateful for the chance to further the ideals of Cura Personalis by supporting the missions and work of those seeking to empower others within their communities.
Aubrey earned her Master of Science in Education and Education Specialist degree from Loyola University, and is currently employed as a school psychologist in the elementary school setting where she works with students, staff, and families in the areas of academic or behavioral interventions, system level supports, and individual educational assessments. She loves the variety that each day brings and the chance to learn something new every day!
Aubrey loves spending time with her husband and son, cheering on the Green Bay Packers, reading a good book, and planning their next family adventure.
