Lisa is a third generation Detroiter. She has worked at the intersection of improving conditions for children, families, and communities for over 25 years. She believes in imagining and implementing practices that challenge traditional models that have largely left black, brown, and poor residents languishing on the margins of society. 

Relationship building and disrupting oppressive practices lies at the heart of the tools she employs to bring about change.

Lisa enjoys traveling, listening to house music, and loves the city of Detroit.
