Staff Spotlight for May 1, 2024
Lesley Vella,
Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) at Strough Middle School
How long have you worked in the RCSD?
11 years, but a SLP for 23 years
What do you like most about your job?
I love working with my students and watching them develop from shy, new seventh graders to mature, ready-to-take-on RFA eighth graders.
What inspires you?
I am trying to be the best version of myself in order to be the best mother to my daughter Mia. My parents are my role models and I want Mia to look up to me and be inspired by me and know that everything that I do is for her.
What is a fun fact about you?
I’m not sure if this is a fun fact, but I donated by kidney to my brother back in 2014. We are both thriving and surviving.
