Lisa grew up in Ohio, the eldest of five children who spent summers camping and hiking in National Parks. At age 12 she realized that she belonged in New England, so she attended Bates College for a BS in geology followed by an MS in geology from the University of Western Ontario. After more than a decade as an exploration geologist in northern New England she went back to school to become a science teacher. She looks back at twenty wonderful years as an upper elementary and middle school science teacher in Lyme, NH and Palo Alto, CA. Now back in northern New England Lisa loves being part of her local school community as a Profile paraeducator.
