About the Author
Mary Elisa “Lisa” Scinto earned her undergraduate degree in Packaging Engineering from Michigan State University. She worked as a design engineer in the aerospace industry for a decade before transitioning into the education field. She taught chemistry and physics and went on to earn a Master’s of Science in Educational Administration. She served as a high school principal for over a decade. Currently, Lisa is politically active and holds two elected offices in the state of Arizona, where she now resides.
When she’s not traveling, enjoying the beautiful night sky, or spending time with her four beautiful grandchildren, she writes political articles for The Ahwatukee News and works on her forthcoming memoir. Lisa gives unique perspectives to the narratives in this memoir because she listened, first-hand, to stories told by family members, some of who were born over 100 years ago. She also draws on her experiences growing up during the Civil Rights movement and being among the first to integrate the schools she attended, as well as the jobs she held. Lisa will always remain an advocate for social justice.
