Teresa Fleming
Chairman
[email protected]

Director Fleming and her husband have 6 children and 7 grandchildren. Their youngest was part of Pi STEM’s first graduating class in 2022. She is an Army veteran and has an undergraduate degree in Microelectronical Engineering from Rochester Institute of Technology. She also has an MBA from the University of Phoenix that she utilizes in her position in cost accounting for the Veterans Administration. Although she has had no formal training in education, she believes education naturally becomes part of your life the minute you become a parent.

Director Fleming is a member of the founding board of Project Impact STEM Academy. One of the motivating factors that led her to become a founding member of Pi STEM was that as a parent, she felt that her children seemed oddly under-prepared for “adult-life” when they reached 18. Over the last few years, she has realized that part of the issue was her own mistaken parenting methods. She sheltered her children too much from failure. These realizations are what lead her to working with PiSTEM. As a founding member of PiSTEM she has continued to advocate for all families to have a choice in the education of their children. While she has only one child that will benefit directly from my learning and growth as a parent, she looks forward to her grandchildren being able to attend Pi STEM and she hopes her work can impact the lives of many others!

Sharina Jensen
Vice-Chair

Director Jensen is a professional speaker who wears a lot of hats in the realm of helping professions. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Boise State University. She is passionate about early intervention education (special education); informed choice/consent; and the transition of families with respect to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Director Jensen and her husband are Project Impact STEM Academy's founding members. She chose to be a founder because she sought greater choice for Kuna families in K-12 education. Her belief is that people are unique and therefore need access to diverse learning opportunities. Director Jensen is the mother of 3 amazing children, a wife (married to a Kuna Native), and a proud member of the Board of Directors.
