About Lisa
From her first day at Elevations Credit Union, Lisa knew she found a company with values that aligned with her own – integrity, respect, passion, innovation, excellence, and a commitment to the communities we serve. She can often be heard saying, “I would not work in mortgage anywhere else.” In her role as Mortgage Sales Manager, Lisa is dedicated to focusing on solutions for our members. She enjoys inspiring those around her to fully realize their potential as mortgage professionals. Before finding her home at Elevations Credit Union in 2013 she worked in different fields, including channel data management for Fortune 500 companies and working in customer service, from telecommunications to special education. When not traveling with her husband or snuggling with her dog, Kaylee, while watching an old movie, Lisa can often be found appreciating all Denver has to offer; sunny days in the park tossing a frisbee; Broadway shows at the Buell; afternoons at the Denver Art Museum; strolls through the Botanic Gardens; and green chile smothered on just about everything. Lisa considers herself fortunate to call Denver her home, and just as fortunate to call Elevations Credit Union home.
