Lisa Meneian

Over thirty years ago, Lisa began her journey into the world of education and early learning for deaf and hard of hearing children. What began as a curiosity for American Sign Language quickly became a life-long passion for the people, language, culture, development and learning processes involved in raising and educating children.

Since that time, her enthusiasm and deep-rooted commitment to the field of education and child development have afforded her the opportunity to be involved in the lives of growing young children from a variety of backgrounds and exceptionalities.

In her capacity as Teacher of the Deaf, Vice Principal of the Provincial Outreach Program, Principal at the BC School for the Deaf, and Executive Director of Deaf Children’s Society of BC, she has supported children, families, and teams across the province from large urban centers to rural and remote one room schoolhouses.

Lisa holds a Masters Degree in Educational Psychology and Special Education/Deaf Education from the University of British Columbia. She has travelled across North America and Europe participating in Early Learning Educational Conferences. Lisa is also a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and an active volunteer in her community. When she is not focusing on her work, she enjoys yoga, hiking, gardening, dancing, cooking, and spending quality time with her children and family.
