With 30 years of experience across the university, Lisa has walked alongside students in nearly every stage of their journey – from School Relations and Admissions, to Multicultural Student Services, Enrollment Services, and the University Advisement Center. Now as an inaugural member of the University Student Success Center team, she brings all that experience together with one goal: helping students navigate school with more confidence and less stress.
Lisa earned her bachelor’s degree in pre-physical therapy (now exercise science) from BYU, a Master of Science in academic advising from Kansas State, and both a master’s degree and PhD in Educational Leadership from BYU. She also teaches two Student Development courses on campus, STDEV 109: Effective Studying and Learning and STDEV 117: Career Exploration – because she genuinely loves helping students discover how they learn best and where they are headed.
Lisa feels fortunate that her work lets her combine so many of the things she loves most: her faith, education and learning, and young adults. She believes deeply in the process of “becoming,” and she is passionate about collaborating with students along their academic and personal journeys.
Outside of work, Lisa and her husband – newlyweds of 18 years – love exploring new places, cultures, and foods together.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, unsure of how to study, or just need someone to talk through your options with, Lisa would love to meet with you. Come and say hello!
