Lisa got her first taste of writing columns in 2002 when she wrote monthly for The Salinas Californian. In 2004 she created Jelly Mom™ and today the column is going strong.

As a graduate of San Francisco State University with a degree in Creative Writing, Lisa dishes out the imaginative wit in her column. This style of writing helped her win notable honors in four consecutive humor writing contests hosted by HumorPress.com.

Lisa's first book, "Just Because Your Kids Drive You Insane...Doesn't Mean You Are A Bad Parent" showcases some of her readers most favorite columns.

Both the column and the book have won the prestigious Adding Wisdom Award, the only award program to ever be honored by Disney.com.
