Her career began in web development and program coordination, which informs a pragmatic approach to project management, usability, and long-term digital preservation. Lisa has led multi-year platform redesigns, curated large scholarly collections, and written documentation bridging computational methods and literary analysis. Based in New York, she is skilled at coordinating interdisciplinary teams and translating scholarly needs into stable, user-centered digital services. A detail that surfaces across her roles is a consistent focus on preventing “digital entropy” by building workflows and style guides that keep scholarly sites sustainable.
