About Lisa…
I am a Harvard College graduate with impeccable communication and executive skills who is well versed in all aspects of household management and a mother of two adult children.
My professional career in finance and marketing began at the Gillette Company in Boston, Massachusetts where I reconciled budgets, became a financial analyst, and progressed through the ranks of marketing to become a brand manager delivering projected profits, launching new products, and managing a team of 12 (staff). I have experience with charitable fundraising and with corporate and private event planning. I have managed the medical, administrative and estate needs of four family members and served as trustee in settling three complex estates.
I am able to multi-task under pressure and maintain a sense of humor. Coordinating events and celebrations, especially memorial services that uniquely honor the lives of loved ones, is a specialty. I have excellent computer skills, and can manage bill paying and correspondence as well as the organization of files for tax preparation, plan extensive travel, research, and creative projects. There is no situation that I would not be at ease handling in a calm and professional manner.
I have managed a wide range of home maintenance (e.g. ice dams, landscaping, renovations, and environmental remediation) for properties in Brookline, Boston and Salem, Massachusetts, Martha’s Vineyard, Far Hills, New Jersey and Gulf Stream, Florida and have planned meaningful memorials and life celebrations in several of these locations.
From personal gifts to the perfect décor to special menus I can make any holiday, event or even a simple meal memorable and unique. I am a gourmet cook; baker and hostess able to orchestrate any menu desired as well as manage catering and event staff. In short, I am accomplished and trustworthy, but most importantly I love what I do. I can empathize with any life situation and find joy in celebrating, organizing and making someone’s life easier.
My skills and experience are best suited to managing an expansive household, and I expertly handle the needs of individual clients as well. I am highly competent in every aspect of home management, travel, independent school and college applications, research of medical/legal needs, and childcare. I have a perfect driving record and I adore animals.
Such key attributes as my work ethic, discretion and integrity may be conveyed via personal references upon request.
