Before coming to Knox in October 2020, Lisa spent over thirteen years in higher education administration and program management at both private baccalaureate institutions and the community college sector. Lisa’s primary focus has revolved around academic advising and holistic student support; cultural competency development; and the implementation of college-wide programs, like new student orientation.
