Lisa is a 1990 graduate of Maplewood High School and an alumni of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. She is also a former Youth Tour participant. After receiving a degree in Specialized Business she decided to return to her rural roots to raise a family in her hometown. She has served as the board secretary/treasurer for the Guys Mills Mutual Water Association, opened a small gift shop in what was once the Grist Mill of Guys Mills with her mother. She volunteers with REMAA as T-ball coaches. She has a love for dogs and the family has five. Lisa is also a trained facilitator for Strengthening Families Program.

Lisa has a deep appreciation for rural communities and a desire to serve. She has seen the positive influence the co-op can have personally. Her father was a director for 34 years with REC and watching him work hard for his district and all co-op members has made a lasting impression. Lisa is hoping to influence and educate the generations to come on the importance of the Cooperative.
