Over the course of her career, Lisa has had the chance to work with people from a wide variety of experiences and backgrounds.

While Lisa began school later than most students, Lisa Landman faced difficulties. When she entered college, her daughter was still in kindergarten. Not being the average student made college more challenging, but Lisa learned many lessons about hard work and perseverance. These lessons have helped her exceed in every career situation. Ultimately, the most valuable lessons that Lisa has received is that if you want something bad enough, you will be able to find a way to get it as long as you work vigorously and don’t give up.
Outside of work, Lisa Landman loves spending time with her husband and their five rescue dogs and horse in Florida. Growing up, Lisa’s family had many dogs which made her fall in love with having dogs. While many prefer to bring home a puppy, Lisa Landman firmly believes in adopting a rescue dog instead. There are countless pets out there who are in need. While living with so many pets can be difficult, it also has its rewards. Lisa and her husband gave up the expectation of having a clean and neat home at all times. This mindset has made sharing a house with five dogs more manageable.
