Her educational background reflects her passion for governance, constitutional principles, and practical solutions that protect and strengthen Utah communities.
Prior to her election, Lisa served as a Senior Policy Advisor for Utah County, where she worked closely with commissioners, department heads, and community stakeholders. In this role, she was instrumental in shaping policy, analyzing budgets, and improving the efficiency of government operations. Her ability to navigate complex policy landscapes and deliver results has made her a trusted voice in public administration. Lisa has also been active in both local and federal campaign efforts, gaining hands-on experience that now informs her results-driven, people-first approach to governance.
