Lisa is a junior and Graphics Editor for The Tower. This is her third year on the staff, but she served as Assistant Graphics Editor in her sophomore year. After being on The Tower for so many years, Lisa cannot imagine what life would be like without journalism — it has shaped her into the person she is today. Outside of school, Lisa is a SAG-AFTRA actress and performer, with roles in various TV shows and commercials. She also loves writing novels in her spare time. In The Tower, she loves to write opinion, culture, and arts pieces, but is always exploring new ideas. If you see her around the halls or have any questions, never hesitate to ask or say hi!
