I had the pleasure of working alongside Lisa at SEA, and she is a professional of the highest caliber. Lisa brings a rare combination of professional maturity and a positive attitude to every project.

Her work ethic and integrity were on full display during our Pride ERG event last June. When the event was reinstated with less than 24 hours’ notice, Lisa pivoted instantly. Her interpersonal skills were vital as she recreated the entire event—food and logistics included—in record time. Lisa is a true asset who leads with both heart and hustle.

I helped recruit Lisa to the Milwaukee Journal, which merged with the Milwaukee Sentinel about a year after her arrival. Both she and I remained on the editorial board of the merged newspaper.

I knew her as a wonderful person and a conscientious worker. The letters were well edited. She impressively re-designed the op-ed page, making it more attractive and reader-friendly. She was reticent at first at editorial board meetings, doubtless because of her young age. But she gradually warmed to the sessions and made valuable contributions to our discussions of the issues of the day.
