She has provided full scope practice since then, attending more than 1600 births at Regions Hospital (formerly St Paul Ramsey) and now at United/Children’s. She is proud of the care she has given to multi generations in the Twin Cities area.

LISA is fluent in Spanish and has lived in Ecuador and has worked in a medical mission in Honduras called Para Ella. Her philosophy of care is to work with her families on their needs and desires, supporting their cultural beliefs and helping them navigate the US Healthcare system.

LISA cares for women throughout their life cycle, from menarche to menopause, during pregnancy and childbirth, and has a passion for family planning.

LISA enjoys travel, live music and the outdoors (camping, hiking, swimming, biking) and has skated 6 marathons on rollerblades.
