Let us roll up our sleeping bags and pack our campers to get to know Lisa and follow her journey to the Medical Library Association (MLA) presidency

Summary
Like many others who find themselves in librarianship, Lisa did not initially set out to become a librarian; her dream was to become a journalist and write novels After receiving her bachelor of arts degree in English and creative writing from Missouri State University, she dabbled in the publishing world in Phoenix by lending her talents to the now-defunct magazine, Arizona Living. After graduating in 1984, Lisa immediately put her degree to use as a part-time reference librarian at the Scottsdale Public Library and as the solo librarian at Garrett AiResearch in Tucson. Her life took another sudden turn when her fiancé, husband, accepted a position in Sioux City, Iowa. They transferred yet again, this time to Denver, Colorado, where her career and impact on the library community truly began
