Until recently, she was a school principal in Virginia, bringing Project Based Learning to her school and, eventually, to her feeder pattern of schools.

She taught in private and public schools for ten years, and spent eleven years in school administration, all with a Project Based Learning approach.

An Army Brat, Lisa was born in Japan, went to high school in Germany, and lived all over the United States, including five years in Yosemite.
