Hailey Isaksen
Program Director
Hailey has always had a passion for helping children and families. Throughout her high school years she dedicated her time to volunteering in Special Olympics and mentor programs. With a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, from the University of Central Florida, she knew she wanted to continue helping children thrive but wasn’t sure how. After hearing about Brain Balance she began her career as a one-on-one coach in July of 2022 and knew it was where she was meant to be! Now, as Program Director she has the privilege of not only seeing students reach their full potential, but hearing stories of hope and restoration from families. Dedicated to creating a fun and rewarding environment, Hailey is always looking for new ways to bring smiles into the center (even if it means creating a life sized Barbie doll box!) In her spare time, Hailey loves reading, traveling, and going on walks with her dog, Saylor.
