About
Lisa is a Southern California-based pet writer who combines her lifelong passion for animals with a background in library and information science. She has master’s degrees in English and library science and experience in both academic librarianship and non-profit research, indexing and abstracting, and information resource management. Her love of animals inspired a career change in 2014 to full-time pet writing, where she applies her research skills. When not writing about animals, Lisa volunteers with a local pet charity, enjoys native plant and waterwise gardening, going to the beach, and curling up with a good book alongside her two big and fluffy Norwegian Forest Cats.Archive
