Lisa Raymond-tolan

Faculty Bio

Dr. Raymond-Tolan received her Masters in Occupational Therapy from SUNY Downstate Medical Center and her Doctorate of Occupational Therapy from Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. She has been an adjunct professor at SUNY Downstate and Bank Street College of Education. Before coming to Pace, she spent 13 years at Community Roots Charter School in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, a K-8 school devoted to racial justice work and inclusive practices. Not only did she build a diverse and collaborative school-based practice there, she was able to grow her scholarship interests of occupational justice, self-determination theory, universal design for learning and executive function within that vibrant community. Lisa is excited to join the Pace Occupational Therapy team and help foster new generations of OTs as they enter this exceptional field.
