As the Director of Finance and Operations, Lisa oversees all the day-to-day details that make the magic possible for LGBTQ+ youth. Lisa's care and attention ensures that all Outright's resources - including people, systems, funds, and physical spaces - are fully utilized in creating the joyful future LGBTQ+ youth deserve. Lisa provides strategic and analytic finance and administrative support towards advancing our mission of a Vermont where all LGBTQ+ youth have hope, equity, and power.
Lisa’s undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of South Carolina, a Master’s in Experiential Environmental Education from Teton Science Schools and the University of Wyoming, and her nearly 30 years of experience in the nonprofit world come together in a unique synergy here at Outright. Her administrative leadership and expertise inform her sustainability-focused and community-centric strategy for securing Outright’s future.
Lisa is also pretty tough! She once spent a year living in a cabin with no plumbing, where reaching the “facilities” involved hiking through six feet of snow while being on the alert for bison. Bison are very, very large. Lisa now lives on a small farm where she keeps pigs, dairy goats, chickens, and ducks - all of which are a much more manageable size.
