Washington’s national parks are truly special — where stunning landscapes, the joy of exploring wild places, and shared experiences come together to create lifelong memories. I’m passionate about protecting these incredible places for the future and ensuring that everyone can access and enjoy them.

Lisa joined Washington’s National Park Fund in April 2025 as the Donor Engagement Manager. Prior to her time at WNPF, she worked at a nonprofit animal shelter, running programs that supported pets and the people who love them. Her passion for the human-animal bond is rooted in a deeper commitment to helping people access experiences that bring joy, connection, and personal well-being.

That same commitment fuels her work today — championing the healing, restorative power of nature, and building support for programs that help more people experience it. Whether it’s advocating, fundraising, or just swapping trail stories, her favorite part of the job is connecting with others who care deeply about our parks.

Born and raised in the Seattle area, Lisa feels most at home on the trail among alpine lakes and meadows, preferably with a glacier view.
