Lisa Winters

Originally hailing from Michigan, Lisa moved west to attend graduate school in Utah, trading the rolling hills of the Midwest for towering mountains and deep canyons. Just don’t tell her mother that she may not come back home! After working as a fish biologist along the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, she joined the Grand Canyon Trust to lead citizen science and stewardship projects. She cares deeply about translating science in a way that is not only understandable, but also motivates individuals to appreciate the beautiful places, unique plants, and awe-inspiring wildlife of the Southwest.
