Meet Lacey
A licensed therapist running for State School Board
Hi there! I’m Lacey.
I’ve lived in Utah County most of my life and feel proud to call it home.
My mom, a teacher for over 30 years, inspired me to become an educator. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in School Health Education from UVU and spent years as a substitute teacher, but ultimately chose to leave the teaching profession and become a therapist.
I attended Rutgers University, received a Master of Social Work, and have been working as a social worker therapist for 9 years. Even before I moved back to Utah, I knew I wanted to get involved in politics and help create needed change.
I love Utah and believe in the incredible potential of our schools and communities. Through my work as a therapist serving children, teens, and families, I see firsthand the growing mental health needs of Utah students and the pressures facing our educators. I believe Utah’s schools must prioritize student well-being, inclusive learning environments, and practical support for teachers. I am running for State Board of Education to help ensure every Utah student has the opportunity to learn, feel safe, and succeed.
