Lea has been with Cascades Academy since its inception in 2003 with prior experience as a science specialist in the Bend public schools. She earned her Bachelor's degree at the University of Vermont with a double major in Geography and Economics and her Master's of Teaching at Eastern Oregon University in 2000. Having attended Kingswood-Oxford, a private independent school in Connecticut, she is excited to be working in a small educational environment with the opportunity to provide similar hands-on experiences that were given to her.
Before her teaching career, Lea was the Financial Development Director for the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation where she coordinated a multitude of fundraising events and now serves on their Board of Directors. Lea and her daughter try to take advantage of many of the outdoor opportunities in Central Oregon including Nordic skiing, alpine skiing, running, hiking, kayaking, biking and playing with their two Labradors.
