Lisa (she/her)

Lisa is a 15-year-old who plans on living at Casa Q for 15 months. Lisa started the 9th grade in the fall. This school year was the first school year she has lived in one stable place for the entire school year.

Lisa was given the power to tour three ABQ high schools that meet her interests. Lisa was accepted to all three schools and has chose to attend the school she thought was the best fit for her. Lisa wants to be a filmmaker and feels this school will help her reach her goals.

Lisa has taken her mental health treatment seriously and has chosen to see her therapist once a week and asked Casa Q to enroll her in karate and swimming during the 2021 summer break. Lisa has turned her life around and stated that she wants to live a “big life” – which was never an option for her until Casa Q came into her life.
