Nicole Lamb

Nicole Lamb serves as an administrator at a high school in Minnesota, where she is in her fifth year overseeing special education programming while also supporting general education teachers and leading collaborative teams to implement district mandates and drive systemic change. Her journey into education began after earning a geography degree and teaching license from the University of Oregon, followed by a move back to Minnesota, where she discovered her passion for special education and working with students who have ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and other learning disabilities. She values taking time to be thoughtful in her approach, thinking of others, and being kind, and she attributes her professional success to the mentors and principals throughout her life who noticed her qualities and encouraged her to pursue teaching and leadership roles she might not have considered on her own. As a member of the Administrators Association in Minnesota, Nicole focuses on building strong teams that improve student outcomes and encourages young women entering the field by affirming their capabilities and leadership potential.
