Lisa Norwood

Lisa received an Associate of Arts Degree in General Studies from Prince George's Community College.  I retired from the USPS in 2018 after 32 years of service as a Letter Carrier and Distribution/Window clerk. Retirement has been great, I've met new people, and have travelled domestically and internationally.   I have two adult daughters, and no pets currently.  As an avid pet lover,  in 2012, our family raised a puppy for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, which was a very rewarding  and educational experience.  While raising my two daughters, I was actively involved with their Girl Scout Troops  and their High School Theater and Choral Productions.  I feel Music and Theater education is a huge part of a child's development, and fully support these curriculums.
