Lisa earned her B.S. in Marine Biology from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. She’s spent extensive time at sea conducting marine mammal research with NOAA and worked for Scripps Institute of Oceanography and the U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program.
After a 5 year hiatus from the marine field, Lisa left her job in oncology research, put all possessions in storage and began her journey to earn sea time for her captain’s license while diving back into the field she dearly loved and missed. She’s spent the past decade working in the expedition industry in the South Pacific, Hawai‘i, Antarctica, the High Arctic and Southeast Alaska as a naturalist, Zodiac driver, hike/kayak guide and logistical coordinator.
Lisa’s extensive work as a field biologist combined with a passion for health research and education has given her the unique ability to be open, friendly and relate to clients on all levels. She loves nothing more than creating well-crafted and highly customized itineraries for our clients. She has taken her extensive training and knowledge and is now focused on professional and effective logistical support for EYOS and our clients so that the overall experience for all involved is excellent.
