Question:
Lisa, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today?
Answer:
After working in television for many years, I decided to pursue my passion for fashion & broadcasting. I have 15+ years showcasing brands on television, print & online: Seventeen Magazine, Newsweek Magazine, 3TV, ABC-15, NBC-12, SheKnows.com & Phoenix Fashion Week. I was even the fashion host/stylist each week on Sonoran Living and a former Phoenix Fashion Week Stylist of the Year!
Early Years: My career started as a Teen Reporter for Newsweek Magazine & SEVENTEEN MAGAZINE. I was one of 17 young influencers selected throughout the United States and Canada to spot fashion trends and cover what the celebs were wearing. I also worked for an ABC affiliate in Phoenix, wearing a number of hats professionally in every department, which contributed to gaining experience not only in front of the camera but also behind it. The next step was the Lone Star State of Texas. I worked as an Anchor/Reporter for CBS & NBC affiliates and received many prestigious honors from the Society of Professional Journalists, Rocky Mountain Emmy’s and Journalism Education Association.
I love Arizona: I’m a graduate of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University, so the sun and desert are in my blood. I brought you the Fam-Tastic happenings for Chandler Recreation for the City of Chandler, positive education stories on Maricopa Now & delicious food recipes on Chefs Menu. I’ve hosted and produced a statewide television show highlighting top valley charities and currently, I’m also a Video Spokesperson for several prestigious companies, lifestyle influencer, lead talent for commercials, infomercials, voice-overs, and print work plus a certified teacher with StayClassyTV Academy (part of the StayClassyTV Network that helps students develop their own on-camera persona and learn what it takes to produce a great story).
I’m always styling new clients for events and always growing my business StayClassyTV. Many people don’t know, but I love organizing, color coding my closet, traveling, shopping and being a Wife & Mom to my baby, Ariana.
