Lisa always was a hometown girl and Grapevine, Texas was always in her heart. An avid Grapevine Mustang, Lisa graduated Grapevine High School in 1998 and went on to attend college at Texas Tech University and Texas State University earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, Early Childhood. Lisa played sports all throughout her life and specialized in softball where she played both catcher and short stop for many years as a youth and on the high school team.
As a teacher, Lisa touched the lives of many children, teachers and staff alike. She began teaching in September 2004 as a Student Teacher in Machaca, Texas. After that, she taught in Lockhart and Austin, Texas and the majority of her teaching years were spent in the Hurst-Euless-Bedford School District as an elementary school teacher at Midway Park Elementary.
