Kylie Bischof has perfected the chocolate chip cookie.

Quite the feat for this busy gal: Between the everyday hurdles of raising children, supporting her husband’s full schedule (and his energetic ADHD), and contributing to the Sonatix team, Kylie makes time to bake, play tennis, and read the monthly paperbacks for her book clubs. She is the wife of Sonatix team member Shyler Bischof, whom she met and married after working together at the Utah State Hospital in the Children’s Unit. Kylie has an impressive record collection, loves traveling, and is a self-proclaimed romantic, hopelessly so.

Kylie brings seven years of elementary teaching experience to the Sonatix team. Her classroom, a wonderland for different learning styles, offered calm, sensory spaces for kinesthetic, artistic, auditory, and withdrawn students. The authenticity and respect she infused into her classroom caught the attention and love of many students who needed a safe place to feel their valid, dysregulated emotions. As disruptive temperaments and behavior concerns continue to create difficulty in classroom environments, Kylie’s expertise as a compassionate, authoritative educator adds to the team’s enthusiasm to work with teachers and students alike to develop safe, harmonious classrooms.

As an Enneagram Type 1, Kylie finds herself navigating the perfection triad. She juggles indecisiveness with worry but can hold herself confidently while being emotionally available for others. Her husband attributes his accomplishments to her reliability and resilience in supporting and managing their family life as he painstakingly pursued his doctorate and slogged through 80-hour work weeks. Kylie handles so much, he says, and she’s incredibly capable of standing on her own.

As a mother of five, Kylie dedicates her time to the well-being and growth of her young children (including chauffeuring them to their various activities). She uses the same perseverance and love she used in a classroom to provide a nurturing, dedicated space for them to grow. While at times she misses the classroom, mothering is where Kylie feels at home. Her impact on the teaching community, however, will not be forgotten.

In the meantime, though, she’ll bake you a dozen cookies.
