Kathryn Dunn

Kathryn Dunn has always believed in the transformative power of education. From her early days as a Kindergarten teacher after graduating from James Madison University to her dynamic career in curriculum development, sales, and e-learning, Kathryn’s journey has been driven by one unifying passion: helping others learn and grow.

After leaving the classroom in 2010, Kathryn expanded her expertise in sales and publishing, mastering the art and science of creating engaging and impactful curriculum. Following the birth of her first daughter in 2016, she transitioned to supporting innovative tech companies in e-learning and custom software, laying the foundation for what would become her ultimate calling—founding Nurtured Nest.

At Nurtured Nest, Kathryn’s goal is to empower parents to embrace every adventure of parenthood with confidence and joy. Her background in education, curriculum design, and online learning enables her to create expert-driven, accessible resources that truly make a difference in families' lives.

When Kathryn isn’t busy helping parents navigate life’s parenting adventures, you’ll find her at the barn teaching her two daughters to ride horses, convincing her husband to foster just one more animal, or savoring her morning coffee with a good book in the quiet before the day begins.

Fun Fact: Kathryn, along with her husband and 2 girls, have fostered 48+ kittens in their home since 2019. It all started with a litter of stray kittens in their neighborhood and now Kathryn has become the neighborhood cat lady.
