| In 2005, Lisa started her government career in Archives and Records Management at the State Archives of North Carolina and held several positions including Digitization Technician, Research Archivist, and Records Analyst. She left the State Archives in 2012 for a Records Manager position at the City of Raleigh where she built a records management program for the Planning and Development Department. Lisa was hired by Becky Pezzoni in 2019 as the Enterprise Records Analyst for Wake County, North Carolina. This dynamic duo coaches and motivates county departments through various records management challenges and practices, while making even the most mundane records clear-outs fun and rewarding. When she is not working her way through dusty file rooms or pouring over records schedules, Lisa enjoys her reading library her husband built, walking trails, and dog rescue work with her teenage daughter. Lisa is a graduate of Eckerd College (BA) and North Carolina State University (MA). She obtained her Master's in Public History with a Specialization in Archives and Records Management in 2004. |
