Heidi Glasow - Senior Training & Marketing Specialist

You might recognize this face! Senior Marketing Specialist Heidi Glasow has been the face and voice of countless instructional videos and training webinars for VariQuest, and there's a reason she's been with us for over 16 years! With her degree in education, and as a former student teacher and parent volunteer, Heidi would have loved to have had the Cutout Maker 1800 available in her school to make assembling creative bulletin boards quicker and easier.

"One of my biggest struggles [as an educator] was coming up with creative bulletin board displays and with access to over 200 predesigned collections in the VariQuest software, that would have made my life so much easier."

- Heidi Glasow, Sr. Training & Marketing Specialist at VariQuest

Melanie Bean - Education Consultant

A veteran of the special education teaching community, Melanie Bean has been an Education Consultant for VariQuest for 6 years! Melanie's appreciation for the #variquestvalue stems from her experience in teaching and her deep knowledge of what educators need to spark creativity and make their tasks easier in enriching student learning. In this video Melanie explains how tools in the VariQuest Suite, such as the Cutout Maker 1800 and Perfecta® STP Series Poster Design System, would have saved her time and money when creating lesson plans and manipulatives for students with a wide range of needs and learning styles.

"It's like when Dorothy lands in Oz and everything turns to full color."
