Lisbeth Uribe came to The School as a founding faculty member, first joining the 3rd grade team and then becoming a science teacher in 2004. Recently, she embarked on an expedition to Antarctica in order to experience firsthand the importance of preserving and protecting the environment for future generations. Lisbeth's elementary school teaching career began with her work as a permanent substitute for PreK-5th grade at the Seeds University School at UCLA, a laboratory school dedicated to research, training and community service. Her commitment to community service is evidenced by her work as a mathematics instructor with Interfaith Neighbors, Inc., for which she was awarded a Citation from the Office of the President for the Borough of Manhattan. Prior to teaching at The School, Lisbeth spent many years working in finance, including training new employees in the field of interest rate risk management. Lisbeth also worked as a biomedical technician and researcher in the field of molecular genetics for the Southwest Biomedical Research Institute, resulting in her co-authoring two scientific papers.
