Lisa is from Cleveland, Ohio & has lived 17 years in New York City. She’s married to Saul, & they have three cats, Norton & Trixie (Honeymooners) & Ilsa (Casablanca). Lisa starting writing screenplays in September 2021. Her first script, the pilot episode of Notes for My Nieces, placed semi-finalist in the Filmmatic Pitch Now Screenplay Competition, Season 4 & received the coveted “double recommend” for writer & project from Jason Mirch of Stage 32. Her pilot Lucy Fell won the Best Web Series/TV Pilot spot in the Multi Dimension International Film Festival. Both are 60-minute dramedies. She has also written a feature film, The First Mike Kiss, and a short film, Perp to Perp.
Lisa’s published two works: the short story “A Date with my Brother” (McFadden Women’s Group); & the article “B-W Professors Jamming with Bluegrass Sound” (Berea News Sun). She’s got a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology (minor in English with a concentration in writing) from Baldwin Wallace University in Berea, Ohio, & a Master of Public Administration from Columbia University’s School of International & Public Affairs. This one-time Executive Assistant to former Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Paul Volcker, now works as Special Assistant to the President/CEO of Breaking Ground, NY's largest provider of permanent supportive housing. Lisa’s dream is to have her story told so other glossophobes won’t feel like freaks – and to write for TV.
