“Thank you to Lisa for leading our third workshop in our three part series for The Growth Program. We are truly grateful to you for sharing your valuable time and talent!”

“The poetry workshop was a wonderful experience. Lisa was an amazing facilitator. I would recommend these workshops for anyone looking to gain more experience with creative writing.”

“I recommend Lisa for research essay writing and grad school application writing workshops. Lisa and I were originally classmates in graduate school, and have grown to have a professional relationship over the years. She has done a few workshops on UofT campus for students that I work with, which were very thorough and applicable. Student attendees often reached out after the workshop for additional advice, and Lisa was always open to listening and providing help where she could. She also has been a long-standing mentor for our undergraduate and graduate programs, helping students to adjust to the transition from school to career. She is caring, kind, supportive, and knowledgeable, and truly does get joy in supporting the success of young adults.”

“I was gifted two tickets to 'Poetry In The Park' for my Birthday. I had no idea of what to expect and was pleasantly surprised, as was my husband who joined me. We both really enjoyed the workshop exercises, which are aimed at sparking creativity using items in the environment around us. We'd had a very busy week and being able to enjoy this workshop outside in High Park was such a treat...a great way to decompress. Lisa is lovely, very encouraging, and supportive.”

- Sue (Folk Singer & Songwriter)

“I miss being in Lisa’s Essay Writing class. I attended on Saturdays from Grade 10 to 12. I have now graduated from college. And all I can say is that Lisa’s class managed to teach me enough to pass the course with the hardest English Prof at Seneca College.”

- Patrick W. (Bachelor of Arts and Science, Seneca College)

"There once was a woman named Lisa who taught writing.

She shows that the pen is mightier than the sword for fighting.

But, if you want to let people into your soul or illuminating feelings to describe is your goal.

She will show you how poetry can be you're fighting."

- Tilak Dutta (Adjunct Professor, Mechanical & Industrial Engineering, Rehabilitation Sciences Institute, University of Toronto)

“Lisa has been great in explaining how to write a poem and exploring our sensibilities to get deeper into the aspects. During the poetry workshop, I had the chance to write creatively while letting myself wander through my imagination.”
