Lisa has a vast performance resume: she has performed all over the country at such world-renowned venues as Lincoln Center, Yoshi's Oakland, Arlene Schnitzer, SF Jazz Center and Jimmy Mak's, and has shared the stage with notable artists Bobby McFerrin, Pink Martini, Coldplay and Stephen Schwartz. In 2010, Lisa had the honor of opening for k.d. lang at Hillary Clinton's birthday party, at which Hillary exclaimed, "Beautiful music! Where can we find you?" As a songwriter/composer, Lisa has many accolades to her name; she was the winner of Portland's “Songwriter of the Year” award in 2009 and was one of only 12 young composers selected to participate in the 2010 Johnny Mercer Songwriter’s Project, an intensive summer program at Northwestern University where she had the honor of working with Broadway composer/lyricists Craig Carnelia and Andrew Lippa, as well as three-time Grammy-winner Lari White.
