About

Hello,
My name is Lisa, I am a single mother of three children and seven grandchildren. I worked in Early Childhood Education for many years while my children attended. I switched careers after the birth of my last child to the Medical field. I have worked at a job I love for many years, Dialysis. I wanted to give more so I signed back to school to become Nurse. While in school, Covid attacked us and my second born son Aaron was murdered. I took some time off from school and started working on my new life. This has been a tough journey and I am back in school to help support other on their journeys. I believe we need to help one another along the way when needed.
