Growing up just off the crooked street of Lombard in San Francisco, Lisa is a true Bay Area native.

After graduating Cum Laude from Boston College in 1999 with a degree in English, Lisa returned to her hometown of San Francisco to pursue a career in media relations and PR at Gap Inc. While managing the retailer's sponsorship of movie premieres and fashion shows in major cities across the country, Lisa fell in love with events and decided to focus solely on event management.

In 2004, Lisa joined the Macy's Special Events team where she planned and executed more than 25 annual events and oversaw budgets exceeding $2 million featuring brands such as L'Oreal, Proctor and Gamble, Polo Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani and Calvin Klein. Lisa also worked closely with vendors to manage personal appearances for stars including David Beckham, Sarah Jessica Parker, Christina Aguilera, Donald Trump and Michael Kors.

She is an active committee member of numerous local organizations including ARCS (Achievement Rewards for College Scientists) where she is the co-chair of the Hospitality Committee and also co-chaired the 2005 Rebuilding Together Ball.

Lisa loves to take advantage of everything the Bay Area has to offer, from visiting the newest restaurants to breaking 90 on local golf courses. Lisa's two young boys, Ryan and Will, keep her very busy. In her opinion, nothing beats taking her sons to the farmers' market to pick up fresh ingredients for an extravagant Saturday night dinner with her husband, Andrew.
