Now, downhill skiing has provided her family more quality time together, new and endearing friendships, and many crazy winter time road trips. When the snow isn't flying, Lisa enjoys spontaneous adventures to see the natural and man-made wonders that surround us, near and far. Professionally, she works in Human Capital Management as a Senior Talent Acquisition Business Partner. She resides in Manlius with her husband, 3 children, and 2 pugs.
