Upon graduating from college in 1987, Lisa realized that she sounded like "every other Soprano singer out there" and longed to find her own voice as an artist. She discovered someone who could help and began her studies with Jan Smith. With Jan's help, Lisa honed the identity of her "vocal thumbprint," and also discovered the ability of writing music.

In 1991 Lisa returned to college at Kennesaw State University and became certified to teach music in the public school systems.
