Hello. I’m Lisa – a writer, traveler, devoted yogi, wife and dog-mom. I also make really good spinach gnocchi.
I began my acting career at the age of four in Toronto, Canada. For the next eighteen years, I worked consistently in the film industry in Los Angeles, in projects that ranged from Hollywood blockbuster to cutting room floor.
At the age of 22, I realized that there must be more to life than premieres and pretending to be other people. I suspected that there was something outside of movies that would feel more authentic to me. I left the film industry under the guise of following the man I loved to Virginia. Luckily, the man I loved really was in Virginia, so it all worked out and we lived happily ever after in our own version of a Hollywood ending.
While figuring out how to be a normal person, I have dedicated myself to my lifelong love of words and my profound respect for a well-told story.
My memoir, You Look Like That Girl, is available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble or by requesting it from your favorite independent bookseller. It is the story of growing up in the film industry and making the decision to leave in search of some peace.
My writing has appeared in Newsweek, Today.com, LA Times, NY Daily News, Huffington Post, DailyMail, US Magazine, Parade, Elephant Journal, Thought Catalog, Vanichi Magazine, ASPCA, Yoga Magazine and Hello Giggles, where I am a contributing writer. I’ve appeared on HuffPost Live, MSNBC and CNN. I also do speaking events at high schools, colleges and conferences where I run workshops about living an authentic life.
