$10,000.00 in cash and prizes at the Monroe Modeling Competition taking

founded The Model Connection, Inc. In 1994 with the goal of developing

six years as the Spokesperson for the SPCA of Anne Arundel County where
she also hosted the television show Adopt-A-Pet and she is currently a

Citizens" to The Model Connection, Inc. roster and actively encourages
people to get involved with her organization as volunteer mentors for
young people.
For close to two years, Lisa was honored to co-host the Arts and
Entertainment radio show on WCBM 680 with Jerry Geitka.
She has recently written a book about the industry she loves,
“The Pocket Guide to Getting the Part” and is currently pursuing a BS
