Eunice has had many years of leadership experience as an administrative assistant, a mathematics department facilitator, a cooperating and mentor teacher, and as a leader of a variety of middle school interdisciplinary teams.

She is passionate about young adolescents and the middle schools and teachers that serve them and her association with NELMS has allowed her to continue this important work.

She recently retired as the principal of Mountain View Middle School, an award winning middle school in Goffstown, New Hampshire. She is currently an adjunct faculty member of Plymouth State University and is well known as a presenter throughout the state, at national conferences such as NASSP and NABT, and soon to be New England!
