In 2019, she was promoted to Clinical Associate Professor. Her current responsibilities include teaching and clinical oversight of students in the Respiratory Care and Polysomnographic Specialty Option Programs.
Lisa’s professional areas of interest include patient and public education related to sleep wellness. She has been actively involved in various community-based research projects focused on the prevention of drowsy driving and raising awareness about the importance of sleep to overall health. Over the past several years, she has secured many rounds of funding from the Governors Traffic Safety Committee (GTSC) and the National Road Safety Foundation to implement various initiatives and research projects, including the launch of the website stopdrowsydriving.org, which houses all of her team’s educational deliverables.
Lisa is the author of the third edition textbook Spriggs’s Essentials of Polysomnography: A Training Guide and Reference for Sleep Technicians (2019), and numerous webinars and e-learning resources offered by the AAST and AASM for clinicians. She has been an item writer for the National Board for Respiratory Care sleep specialty exam and has co-authored several peer-reviewed journal articles for the Journal of Respiratory Care and the journal of Health Promotion Practice. Her recent research includes the publication “The Future of Respiratory Care: Results of a NY State Survey of Respiratory Therapists,” which reports on the perceptions of current RT’s on their future role and scope of practice.
