Several years ago, fate brought Lisa and me together at a local massage therapy office where she held the receptionist position. It was one of those moments where you instantly recognize a gem in someone when you hear them on the phone, effortlessly connecting with customers. This spark of connection laid the foundation for a beautiful friendship that grew stronger with time.

Our journey together took an exciting turn in early 2019 when we became work colleagues. Lisa now holds the esteemed office manager position at MOPPS, a testament to her professionalism and ability to manage people well and effectively.

Beyond her career, Lisa’s life is woven with love and family. She has been married to her devoted husband, Mark, for longer than I’ve been married in all three of my attempts combined. Their enduring love story is a source of inspiration to all who know them.

Adding to the warmth of her family is her wonderful son, Mark John, a reflection of the love and care Lisa pours into her role as a mother. And then there’s Theo, her miniature Schnauzer, whose wagging tail and boundless affection bring immeasurable joy to her life. Theo isn’t just a pet; he’s a cherished family member.

But Lisa’s heart knows no bounds. Her love extends beyond her blood relatives and canine companions to include Megan and little Ava, both of whom she adores as if they were part of her own family. Lisa’s ability to embrace and nurture relationships extends far beyond the walls of the workplace, making her a true gem not only with people but with life itself.
