She stays actively involved in her community through volunteer work with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, including international service builds, as well as ongoing support of museum and nonprofit initiatives. In her free time, Lisa loves to travel, throw pottery, and spend quality time with her husband and German Shorthaired Pointer, her children, and her three beautiful grandchildren. |
