Lisa has all the qualities of a great editor: a sharp eye for details, a curious mind, and the ability to make weak copy stronger. I knew my articles would be a better read when she edited them. She’s also a great source of article ideas for both features and news stories. I really enjoy working with her and am glad she is on our team.
