Lisa is a Romany Traveller from Worcestershire. Her early childhood was spent travelling around Wales but large concrete boulders started decorating entrances to stopping places and evictions became more regular.
Access to schooling became of paramount importance to her parents, who settled in Worcestershire.
She has been working within a Traveller Education service for the last eight years, completed a Masters in Inclusive Education in January 2016 and is vice-chair for The Advisory Council for the Education of Romany and other Travellers.
