Her work bridges traditional English studies with the evolving world of media and digital storytelling.

From classroom lessons to career preparation, Lisa shares how language, curiosity, and creativity remain at the heart of every successful communicator. She also reflects on her own journey—from studying English and TESOL to inspiring generations of students at Berkeley College.

Outside the classroom, Lisa is a nature photographer, violinist, roller-coaster enthusiast, and science fiction lover, bringing the same sense of curiosity and adventure to her teaching that she brings to life.
