BioLisa received a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Athletic Training from San Jose State University, a Master of Science in Perinatal Clinical Nurse Specialist/Neonatal Emphasis from the University of California San Francisco, and a Post-Graduate Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate from San Francisco State University.

Lisa started her nursing career at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in the Labor and Delivery Unit. It became clear early in her career that research-driven high-quality patient-centered care was integral to her learning and passion for nursing. As a staff nurse, she participated in multiple obstetric simulations at CAPE, and she was immediately drawn to the systematic approach, clear communication, and debriefing process within the simulation methodology. For more than two decades, Lisa’s work has included bedside nursing, advanced practice nursing for women and children, and public health nursing with a particular passion for research dedicated to improving patient outcomes.
