Our School

This is my second year of serving the MSGL community as a board member.

After earning my Masters in Occupational Therapy, I entered into the professional world to explore my passion in health and rehabilitation. I have worked for Franciscan Alliance St. Elizabeth providing
inpatient rehab services and Cooperative School Services providing school-based therapy services to students K-12. I have experience in the typical stages of physical development, Sensory Processing Disorders, Autism, Developmental Delays, physical limitations, and environmental modifications.

My family and I love to travel and to go on adventures! We love the outdoors, good food, and staying active! I look forward to meeting all the new families at MSGL this year and am proud to be a part of something that has provided this community for 50 years.

This is my eighth year of serving the MSGL community as a board member.

My educational background is in Computer Information Systems; however, I made a career in networking technology. I worked for a local Internet Service Provider (Wintek) starting in 2005 and later
purchased the company in 2010. After growing the company for nearly 10 years, my business partner and I decided to sell it to Tipmont REMC in 2019. I have since started and have gotten involved in many
more local companies. I bring a wide range of business experience to the board along with technical expertise.

Both of my daughters, Alexis and Avery have been to MSGL and enjoyed their time immensely. I look forward to working with other board members, staff and teachers, and the community to help grow and
strategically place MSGL in a good position towards the future.

This is my first year serving the MSGL community as a board member.

I am a West Lafayette native and proud to have served this community through volunteerism for most of my adult life. Professionally, I work as a Birth and Postpartum Doula, as well as a Certified Lactation Counselor. I also own and manage rental property with my husband. In my off time, I formed and manage a free cloth diaper lending program to help tackle diaper need that affects 1 in 3 families in our community. I am the creator of Parents of Greater Lafayette, an open collaborative parenting community, and a leader for Greater Lafayette Babywearing. I am currently serving my 6th year as treasurer for my homeowners association. I advocate for birth choice through Indiana Families for Midwifery. I also provide education regarding cloth diapering through Tippecanoe Cloth Diapering and organize for Tippecanoe Veg Network. Through my volunteerism over the years, I have had the pleasure of cultivating relationships with many of the non-profit organizations in the area. I have acquired an extensive amount of bookkeeping experience due to my business and volunteer work. I am also thankful to have many close expert contacts to consult with regarding building and grounds maintenance.

My daughter is in Hickory and has attended MSGL for 5 years. My son is now in his first year at MSGL in the Toddler room. The parent community, staff, and campus have become such a large part of our family’s life. I am honored to serve MSGL as it continues to be an ideal model of education in our community

Hello MSGL community I am Gloribel Rosales-Burdin (aka Adalena’s mama). I have been on the MSGL Board of Directors since 2021.

I have a diverse educational and professional background with a BS in Organizational Leadership and Supervision from Purdue University and a dual master’s degree in Adult and Community Education and Executive Development for Public Service with a master’s certificate in Early Childhood Administration from Ball State. With this, I have worked primarily in higher education, starting locally with Ivy Tech Community College, where I served in various roles throughout Student Affairs for a few years, which has recently led me to become a Senior Academic Advisor in the department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture at my alma mater Purdue University (funny how some things go full circle). In addition to academic advising, I am also a part-time faculty for communications, teaching an intro speech class (I love observing others LEARN).

It has been my passion for human development and family studies that led me to learn about philosophies like Montessori and to learn how great it is for our developing children in all aspects. Maria Montessori is an inspirational education pioneer who paved the way for many other educational philosophies and methods.

My family and I have loved being a part of MSGL, appreciating and respecting the joy, love, and care it brings to our child, and fulfilling the need to feel at peace that my child is being cared for by others who share a similar mindset. I am looking forward to continuing to serve and to be an effective ally for this beautiful, cultivating learning environment.

This is my third year serving on the board.

I grew up in Lafayette and went to Purdue for both my bachelors and master’s degrees in Management & HR and Technology, Leadership & Innovation, respectively.  I am a Strategic Data Manager for the College of Agriculture at Purdue where I work in budgetary, financial, HR, student and other various data forms.  I help provide information to our leaders so that they may be able to make data driven decisions.

We love being close to Purdue’s campus and all that it has to offer. You can find us attending many of the Purdue Convocation events in town.  We love to travel and explore new places, attend traveling Broadway shows, and try new foods.  We also enjoy exploring old places through our daughter’s novice and curious eyes.

Our daughter is in the Hickory classroom.  This is her fourth year at Montessori.  We love the campus and have really enjoyed watching her grow in her independence since starting at Montessori.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue to send my daughter to MSGL and to be able to give back a little through serving on the board.
