Hello, my name is Deidra Brown and I am the Assistant Director for WESCO Industries. I have been a part of the WESCO team since 2007 and have been in my role as the Assistant Director since 2011. I have a Master’s Degree in Human Services from Bellevue University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Human Services from Buena Vista University. I love to learn and am currently working towards my Doctorate Degree in Human Services and Organizational Leadership through Capella University. I grew up on a farm outside of Schleswig and graduated from Denison High School. My husband, Nick, and I live on an acreage outside of Deloit. We have 4 daughters, Kenzie, Cameron, Hailey, and Whitley. In my spare time I enjoy traveling with my family and watching my girls in gymnastics, dance, soccer, and other activities they are involved in.
Seeing so many individuals succeed in life and being able to transition back into the community is the best part of my job.- WESCO Industries Employee
