Lisa is now back to her true life calling of teaching both graduate and undergraduate students in the CAAHEP accredited Exercise Science Programs and directing a robust Human Performance Laboratory, where students truly learn theory and application of the cardiopulmonary physiology, electrocardiography, and cardiac rehabilitation skills learned before leaving the exercise science program at ULM. During her career, Lisa has been very active with The American College of Sports Medicine, in which she is a Fellow and reviewer for Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. She also served on the first committee that drafted the bylaws for the Accreditation of Exercise Science program which evolved into today's Accreditation Standard for Exercise Science program through CAAHEP.
