WHO I HELP

Non-profit organizations and institutions serving children and teens recovering from trauma and/or adults and teens with intellectual disabilities or behavioral challenges.

  • My goals are to give voice to the disenfranchised, build community and support and uncover talents and gifts.

“Lisa is one of the most talented and innovative educators I have ever worked with. She is inspiring, creative, forward-thinking, and compassionate. Her greatest passion is giving voice to some of the most vulnerable and challenged people among us.”

Gigi Antoni
Wallace Foundation
Vice President of Youth Development

Let’s build something incredible

I’m lucky to be the founder of Creative Solutions, a Big Thought program that uses performing and visual arts to teach job and college readiness skills to youth on probation for the last 30 years. Learn more about my teaching philosophy through the voices of my students, friends and colleagues at Big Thought, Creative Solutions, Spotlight, and Studio Movie Grill.
