Lisa has been a dedicated nurse since 1991, beginning her journey as an associate degree nurse and advancing to earn a BSN and MSN from the University of Phoenix, followed by a PhD from Capella University. With a passion for nursing education, she specializes in teaching nursing students not only about nursing theory and clinical skills, but also incorporating holistic practices such as yoga, meditation, and breathwork into their curriculum.
Lisa's extensive clinical experience spans med/surg, critical care, emergency nursing, sepsis coordination, home care (palliative and hospice care), hospital education, and simulation. She has served as faculty for practical and BSN nursing programs, with a commitment to shaping the next generation of healthcare providers.
In addition to her work in nursing education, Lisa has a deep interest in sepsis and dementia care, mental health and wellness, and actively promote well-being through her involvement at the local YMCA, where she offers yoga, Barre, and Thai bodywork classes. Outside of the academic and healthcare setting, Lisa enjoys spending time with her two yellow labs, Cosmo and Chloe, and pursuing creative projects using her Cricut.
