Lisa was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York City. Being extremely athletic, she participated in Varsity High School and College Track and Field; and thrived academically, acquiring her undergraduate degree in Math and Computer Science from the City University of New York. College is where she began to develop a passion for acting, after taking an elective class during her junior year. Upon graduation, she immediately entered the University of Michigan, Ross School of Business as an MBA candidate, and began working as upper middle management within the Banking industry by the early age of 21. After years of work in Banking, and with tons of International travel/experience under her belt, the results of a sudden massive meltdown of the Financial markets precipitated her decision to leave that industry. She was accepted into the American Academy of Dramatic Arts Conservatory in New York City with a merit scholarship.While working in NYC Stage and Regional theatre productions, Lisa supported herself with a wide variety of positions ranging from Waitress and Clown for Hire, to successful Independent Sales Agent in both the Real Estate and Telecommunication Industries. The extensive International travel, life experiences and training have shaped her into a very flexible, and versatile actress known for her extreme character roles. Show less «
