Lissa Davis
My profile, hummm. Well, I'm a middle-aged grandma, freelance writer, artist, rabid recycler, angler, gardener, crafter and reader.
I am a born again, saved by grace follower of Jesus who's only purpose in life is to bring glory and honor to my Lord. My goal is to be His light unto the world through my life. My passion is international missions and I have left a bit of my heart in every nation I've been blessed to work.
My most important job here on earth is being Gaga to Lily, my sweet granddaughter.
I have a Masters in Education and a BS in Community Development/Public Administration. I have 25 years in public sector careers. I have specialized in land use planning and regulation; am Firewise certified and have earned several FEMA certifications.
I am also a Lane County (OR) Master Recycler
