Biography

Lisa is a feature writer focusing on horrors and thrillers with supernatural and psychological themes. A lifelong interest in the paranormal began after growing up in a haunted house in the Midwest. She received a BFA in painting which, of course, helped her become an extremely interesting cocktail waitress for many years. Richly developed characters are a trademark of her scripts, as well as deeply researched folklore and period accuracy. Coverfly writes in their endorsement, "Lisa has a tremendous command of tone and setting with stellar feature samples of the mindf*ck variety."

Lisa was the First Tier winner for the Finish Line Script Competition in 2023. She received a fellowship from Story Incubator in 2022. Received the Final Draft Fellowship for Stowe StoryLabs 2020, on The Bitchlist 2020. Grand Prize winner of Stage 32's Search for New Blood competition 2020, and was a Academy Nicholl quarterfinalist, as well as a finalist for: Blacklist Labs and the Cassian Elwes Sundance Fellowship.
