Lisa chose real estate as a career after a long stint in retail management. Although Lisa enjoyed her time as a GameStop store manager, she always aspired to run her own business. Armed with an entrepreneurial spirit and a love for home improvement, Lisa made the move to real estate in 2010.
Born and raised in the Grand Rapids area, she is an expert on the local market. She loves Grand Rapids because it has the appeal of a big city, but is surrounded by beautiful landscape and Lake Michigan. Lisa’s personal interests include photography, painting, and art in general. Outdoor activities like canoeing and camping are a fun weekend pastime in the summer. Lisa is quite the home improvement buff and enjoys tackling projects. She is also an avid gamer and boasts an impressive collection of original Nintendo games.
Lisa is very involved professionally and donates her time to both GRAR (Grand Rapids Association of REALTORS) and WCR (Women’s Council of REALTORS).

For WCR, Lisa served on the hospitality and holiday party committee (2013), and as marketing chair (2014-2017). Lisa also supports the local community and has volunteered for Kids' Food Basket and Habitat for Humanity.
