An enthusiastic birder and shorebirder, Lisa joined Manomet's Shorebird Recovery Program in 2008 and is currently the North American coordinator for the International Shorebird Survey (ISS). Her job involves recruiting and engaging ISS volunteers, managing and developing the ISS database and visualization tools, and finding creative ways to tell shorebird stories using ISS data.
Lisa comes from a birding family and began her birding career in 1993 after moving to Tucson for graduate school. While living in Arizona, she coordinated the the Tucson Christmas Bird Count and led trips for the Tucson Audubon Society. Now in Massachusetts, she currently leads trips for Manomet as well as local bird clubs and other conservation organizations. She is part of the Massachusetts Avian Records Committee and contributes to Bird Observer, the New England Birding Journal. Her work with International Shorebird Survey combines her passion for shorebirds, data, and citizen science.
