Meet Lisa

I created HEART RESERVE to help you understand your health, ask questions and feel more prepared for your next conversation with your care team.

Will you be able to play with your grandchildren? Will we be able to hold suitcases and walk up a flight of stairs and travel?
Heart Reserve really started out of my own life experience. So I'm able to see it from a patient because I'm a 45-year-old mom kind of going through this myself right now and as a clinician on the other side of the seat.
And I created Heart Reserve as an educational platform for patients, for clinicians, for people leaving the NICU, for anyone in one of these situations, so that we could understand better what our history is and how to bring that to the clinician so that they could help us.
As a physician assistant, I've always seen my role being taking these incredible researchers and genius doctors in this specialty field and translating it into easy words that people could understand and medicine that we understand.
I want women to get used to telling your story, to talking about that experience as it relates to you. Your NICU experience, your baby's experience, that was also your history.
Will you be able to live the life that you want by building this reserve.
