Lisa earned a bachelor's degree in journalism and a master's degree in Environmental Studies. Her conservation career began immediately following college graduation with a Student Conservation Association internship based at Arches National Park. Since that time, she has worked with several other conservation organizations across the country including the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps, Glen Helen Outdoor Education Center, and the Antioch New England Institute.
