and operated a non-medical in-home
service called Comfort Keepers.
Yet when Lisa learned of an opening with
the field hockey coaching staff at Penn
Manor High School, she jumped at the
chance to reengage with a sport she had
enjoyed playing in her youth and to pursue
her long-standing interest in coaching.

Lisa's commitment to field hockey is also
shared by her twin daughters, Emily and
Eryn, who play with USA Field Hockey's
National Developmental Squad and
graduated from Boston College in May.
Lisa and her husband John look forward
to spending time together with the whole
family, including their son Evan, a recent
graduate of the University of Pittsburgh.
Her career today is certainly different
from her days working in Radiography
and MRI, but Lisa values the life lessons
gleaned from her PA College and early
professional experience. Working in the
health care field demanded the ability
to think on her feet and problem solve
quickly and confidently. Lisa takes pride
in these abilities, which are still important
to her success today. When talking to her
children about their academic and career
aspirations, Lisa thinks about her own
interesting and rewarding path and tells
them, "Life has a way of putting you where
you need to be - believe in this, and you'll
be happy."
