Dr. Lacey earned her BA and MS in Elementary/Special Education and Ph.D. in American Studies/Women's Studies with a concentration in Learning and Instruction. Lacey's philosophy of teaching is based on her belief that "all students can learn" with the application of multiple intelligences theory and implementation of effective research-based instructional strategies that improve student's academic and affective learning skills. As an observer and participant, Dr. Lacey has researched the connection between student's academic performance and the performing arts. She is the founder of S.M.A.R.T. Services which provides mentoring and tutoring services for students. As a college professor, she teaches students with and without disabilities and promotes student achievement in academics and performing arts. Her doctoral dissertation titled "Feet Don't Fail Me Now: A Study of African American Females Performing on a School-based Drill Team" documented the ethnography/oral history of drill and step team performance and contributed to the discourse on African American youth dance culture. Dr. Lacey is a native New Yorker and has presented her research at numerous national and international scholarly conventions in Detroit, New York, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, Italy, Mexico and West Africa.
