My self-summary
I enjoy and value the company of my friends and am very outgoing. I have a love for classic rock, especially The Beatles.

Instead of me summing up myself just like every other girl on here, I asked my friends to instead help describe who I am as we all know it's your friends who truly know you best - - here are their (honest, unbiased and only slightly edited) views:

Jenna - Lisa is passionate about who she is - a Cubs girl who loves her family and passionate about Judaism. Whether it's teaching Jewish kids during the day or yelling at Dale Sveum how crappy he is at night, Lisa is full of energy and life. (Note - if you do not know who Dale Sveum is, then Lisa is not the right girl for you!)

Bonnie - Lisa is salt and pepper combined. She has a fantastic sense of humor and at the same time, will be there for those serious moments where you need a friend to turn to. And she loves the Beatles. What more could you want?!

Rachel - If you are looking for somebody who is a fantastic cook, then Lisa is NOT your girl. (Sorry Lisa - honest truth!) However, if you are looking for somebody who aspires to try to be a great cook - and is just as open to trying other adventures whether she's good at it or not - then you will love having fun with Lisa as she is ALWAYS up to trying something new. (Hey - she did accomplish her big goal of running in an 15k this past year which is more than I'll ever be able to say.....)

Joanie - Lisa is a proud Indiana U alum (May 2009) so just be warned if you graduated from another Big Ten school and your team got crushed by Indiana the past year....but on the flip side, Lisa is currently getting her graduate degree in special education k-12 at National Louis, and I'm sure wherever you went to college, your team is A LOT better than the National Louis Tigers....so don't be afraid to trash talk sports with her. And did any of Lisa's other friends mention Cub guys get automatic email responses if you like what we all wrote of her?!?
What I’m doing with my life
I graduated from Indiana University in May 2009. I am currently a graduate student for Special Education at National Louis University. I teach within the Jewish community.

I work in the field of education as an elementary school teacher. I am currently in school for my Master's in Special Education k-12. I will graduate in June of 2013.

I grew up within the conservative movement but within the last couple years have learned to enjoy an orthodox shul setting. I plan to become shomer shabbat upon graduation from grad school. I will put it out there that I do not want to date someone whose favorite meal is bacon. I take my judaism seriously and would like to become more religious in the future.
