In addition, she is licensed in special education and currently serves as both a special educator and special education liaison. Vanessa has also volunteered as a special education advocate, demonstrating her dedication to supporting all learners. She holds a Director II certification in early childhood education and began her career over 23 years ago at the Kiddie Koop in Revere. Today, she teaches at Lynn Classical High School, specializing in executive functioning skill development for students in grades 9 through 12. She is also a certified Orten Gillingham practitioner (reading) and a globally certified maritime archaeologist. Her breadth of experience across all educational levels uniquely positions her to advocate for students, families, and educators throughout the district.

Vanessa is deeply committed to family values and ensuring that parents have a strong voice in their children’s education. She believes in open communication, respect, and true partnership between families and schools. As an experienced educator, Vanessa also understands the vital role teachers play in student success. She is passionate about supporting educators by advocating for the resources, tools, and professional support they need to thrive in the classroom.

Vanessa is known for her honesty, integrity, and accessibility. She is committed to putting Revere families first and will always be a responsive and dedicated advocate on the School Committee.
