Lisa holds 2 degrees from WVU. B.S.J in Public Relations (1988) and a Masters of Art in Sport Management (1993). 

Fun Fact:  I had a fun job for four years as the Promotion Director of a Triple-A Minor League baseball team. 

Why she loves working with parents: I love being part of the entire cycle of a WVU parent. From meeting families during the recruitment process, to answering their questions as they prepare to send their student to WVU, through to graduation, we are a part of their entire experience, and it's very rewarding.

Why she loves working with parents: Families are the pillars of what a student will grow from in their journey. I enjoy getting to share opportunities, ease minds, and show the value that a positive support system can bring to a student's higher educational career. Being a small part of such an exciting time for families is wonderful.
