Elisabeth (Lisa) Lien

Name: Ms. Elisabeth Lien

Position:  Speech-Language Pathologist

Contact:  [email protected]

Education:  M.A. Speech-Language Pathology City University of New York (CUNY)

What was your favorite grade as a kid and why?  I loved 6th grade because my teacher, Mr. Dean treated us as young adults, not little kids. We called ourselves “Community 206”, not room/class #206.

What do you want most for the students at Franklin?  I want our students at Franklin to feel cared for, heard, and accepted.

Who is someone you admire and why?   I admire Michelle Obama for her caring, wisdom, and grace.

What are some of your interests outside of the school day?  Being a mom of 2 boys, working out, reading, and being outside in nature as much as possible.

What are people sometimes surprised to learn about you?   Before I became a speech teacher, I was acting Off-Broadway in NYC for 10 years
