Lakie never planned on going into education. She initially chose fitness instructing as her “official job,”
becoming a household name in the fitness industry with her DVDs, classes, and Bat Mitzvah motivating.
Upon moving to Maryland, she pivoted to a role as a tutor at a local Montessori school.
The school soon trained her to be a teacher, and she quickly revamped the curriculum and teaching methods.
In Phoenix, AZ, Lakie taught grades two and four, covering both Judaic and General studies.
She became an integral part of the school, sought after as a peer and mentor for her innovative ideas.
She also modernized the school's technology and marketing capabilities, streamlining communications, programs, methods, systems, and reputation.
Lakie calls herself a transformer (like Optimus Prime — did you laugh?).
She flows seamlessly into institutions and communities, identifying their challenges and collaborating on ways to tackle them.
Some of her accomplishments include an MEd, a Principalship in Education and Innovation from ASU, a Nitivot Montessori training Certificate,
a Bachelor's in Humanities with a focus on Education, attendance at the Moreshet Kiruv training institute, and being an alumnus of Prizmah’s OWL program.
Lakie lives in Phoenix, AZ with her husband Dr. Ben, and their three children. She enjoys spending time with her family and at the beach.
With a new app coming soon that will impact education, Lakie and Dr. Ben are excited to change the world.
