     Her past employments (for over 25 years) were in the field of mental health and building meaningful relationships with clients with cerebral palsy, for whom she trained and secured employment. Her drive to help individuals overcome barriers that may impact their learning and growth, led her to pursue a career in education (her true passion) that continued her advocacy of equality for all children.

Mrs. Boyington continues to advocate for children and strive for education excellence in her current position as a third-grade educator at Westwood Elementary School in the Warrensville Heights City School District (WHCSD). Providing instruction in an inclusion, self-contained, co-teacher model setting, her class satisfied (100%, past two years) the requirements, set by the State of Ohio, of The Third Grade Reading Guarantee. She was one of a team of teachers and administrators of the Westwood Elementary School who was recognized by the International Center for Leadership in Education and named Model School 2019, for data-validated growth, evidence of a strong culture that puts students at the center of learning and transforming instruction to meet the needs and demands of the future.
