Ms. Lisa started playing the violin in her 6th grade orchestra. She soon fell in love with music and never stopped. In high school she had the honor of playing first chair at Carnegie Hall, NYC and was a regular member of the Naples Youth Philharmonic. In college, Ms. Lisa developed a passion for teaching. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Radford University, in Virginia, with a Bachelor's Degree in Music with certifications in Music Education and Music Therapy. Shortly thereafter, she began her teaching career at Cypress Lake in 2014.
