Background

 

Lisa began her relationship with schools as a Nursery and Kindergarten teacher back in 1983. After receiving her BS in Nursing in 1991, Lisa worked in both the medical and teaching fields. Her experience includes the VA Medical Center, Visiting Nurses Society, and Kent Hospital Homecare among others. Most recently, Lisa was the School Nurse for Valley Community Schools and was a school nurse teacher at South Kingstown's Curtis Corner Middle School.


Educational Philosophy

"My goals are to expand the school nurse position to include the implementation of a more developed wellness program in the Lower and Middle Schools. I also believe that a school nurse can be so much more than just a “band-aid” person. I plan to be someone who Rocky Hill students can feel safe coming to for TLC, or just to talk if they need a comfort zone.  My goal is to create a nurturing and healing environment in the nurse's office."
