Lisa was born and raised in Miami, Florida, to Brazilian parents, who fostered her passion for cultural exchange from an early age. Growing up in an international city, she developed a keen interest in global perspectives. As a student at the University of Florida, Lisa pursued her passion for international politics, culminating in an enriching internship abroad at Leinster House in Dublin, Ireland. She graduated with a B.A. in Political Science and Government from the University of Florida in December 2023.
Her personal interests include singing, playing the piano, engaging in arts and crafts, experimenting with new recipes, and reading.
In her new role, Lisa is excited to educate students about the value of global learning and to support Gators in experiencing education abroad opportunities.
