Kristen Rossow
Mrs. Idaho United States 2009

Kristen Rossow is joyful, indomitable, grateful and believes anything is possible. As the founder and owner of The Land of Nod Learning Center and Dance Academy in Eagle, Idaho she offers scholarships in childcare, education, and dance. Kristen organized and implemented Angels Among Us 2008 to provide aid to needy families for the holidays. She sponsors a Babysitter Boot Camp for mentoring local youth, and is hosting a workshop titled Victim or Victorious designed to help women know that happiness is a choice.

Her platform Sunshine After Rain was inspired by her personal experience overcoming mental and emotional abuse she received by her first husband of six years. She’s learned that some of the deepest wounds are those not seen and works to empower women to discover we are amazing just as we are and how healing and recovery are possible.
