Codi Brabeck Lead Staff Hello! My name is Codi Brabeck and I am the Lead Staff here at Valentine Hills! I have been with the YMCA since February 2015. This past spring I worked at Pike Lake Elementary and this summer I worked at Bel Air Elementary. I grew up in New Brighton and went to school at Bel Air, Highview, and Irondale! I graduated from St. Catherine University in May of 2014 with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Public Health. In my free time I enjoy crocheting, photography, spending time with my friends and my pets, and visiting my baby niece! My favorite part of working in YCare is getting to know all of the students! They all have such different personalities and bring something unique to the program! I am so excited to be working at Valentine this year and I look forward to working with all of the kiddos!!

Program Staff Hello, my name is Chee Thao. I am a student, currently attending Century College. I am an aunt to 3 amazing nephews and 2 adorable nieces. I love being an aunt! Silver is my favorite color, I find it to be very soothing and just simply beautiful. My favorite food is sushi and I love the sushi and Japanese food from Sushi Tango! During my free time I enjoy watching old/new movies, old/new TV shows, re-reading my favorite books, walks, Zumba, and hanging out with family and friends. I have been working for the Y for over a year now. I enjoy my work and enjoy working with the kids. I like that I am able to be a role model to the kids, teach them, learn from them, make new friendships, and just simply have fun. J |
