Lisa has a journalism degree from California State University, Northridge. She looks back on her career to date fondly having worked in various California broadcast news organizations, insurance public affairs and at both Washington State University and the University of Idaho. Lisa has an insatiable curiosity, love for learning and a passion for helping and giving to others. Born and raised in urban California, Lisa recently moved to Hayden, Idaho, from Moscow. She is looking forward to embracing this new adventure and calling it home. She cherishes the people, the lifestyle, the vibe and the beauty the Coeur d’ Alene area offers. When not caring for her family, Lisa volunteers, writes poetry, creates pieces of wood and rock art and explores the outdoors, appreciating the nature she encounters. Her daily spiritual growth is a priority in her life, and it’s been a pathway for living peacefully with herself and others.
