Lisa enjoys applying the rigors of research to the practice of applied psychology to give organizations a meaningful and informed advantage in deciding how to leverage talent.

Her research has been featured in the Minneapolis Star Tribune and New York Newsday newspapers, Minnesota Law and Politics magazine, and on the WCCO and Minnesota News Network radio stations in the Twin Cities.
