Education

Shoreline community college

University of Washington

Western Governor's University

Lisa is currently enrolled in Western Governor's University, Washington. She is on an accelerated program and is working toward a degree in Business Marketing Management. She enjoys the coursework (especially the writing assignments). She often considers switching majors to something more computer-science related, but the current coursework aligns closely with her work history and might be a better fit.

Marketing

266 Projects Completed

Lisa has designed and maintained WordPress websites for hundreds of clients since 2007. She got her start as a niche blogger and began to catch the attention of local businesses. When she saw that her skills could support her family she decided to sell a few of her blogs to local clients and begin building custom sites. At first, she mainly worked with friends and family but it quickly became more work than she could handle and she began hiring other stay-home moms to write web content for her clients. Today she has stepped back, in order to take a position that encourages her to get dressed every day and talk to people in real life but her business is still going strong.

Hospitality

34 Projects Completed

Lisa has written regular and seasonal menus for several local restaurants and has been involved with the writing of marketing materials, employee training manuals, business plans, quarterly and annual investor reports. In addition, she's written local guides for small innkeepers and boutique hotels designed to help visitors get acquainted with the area.

Her kids have been exposed to a wide variety of educational environments over the years and she's found writing projects throughout it all, writing for PTA newsletters, classroom fundraising letters, Volunteer handbooks and web content.

That was an awesome project where she learned that it's unwise for one person to work every single role in a publication.
