After serving in parish ministry, Lisa found her vocational home in Episcopal school chaplaincy—a role she has embraced since moving to the U.S. in 2003.
With more than 20 years of experience, Lisa is passionate about nurturing the faith and potential of young people, supporting faculty and staff, and walking alongside families in both joyful and challenging moments.
