The years 1982 and 1983 were spent by her at the Stratton Mountain Ski School, which is located in Vermont. It was in 1983 when she received her diploma from Marquette Senior High School.
She went on to complete her education at the University of Utah, where she earned her bachelor’s degree and distinguished herself by competing for the University’s National Championship Ski Team. An skilled skier, Lisa was honored with the title of Midwest Skier of the Year while she was a member of the United States Ski Team. She also worked as a ski instructor in Vail, Colorado, for a period of time. In later years, she attended New York University and received her Master of Arts degree.
The New York Conservatory for the Arts was where she resumed her pursuit of an education. Over the course of thirty-five years, Lisa worked as a teacher in the New York City Public Schools.
