Personal Life[]
Lisa was born in Tarzana, Los Angeles, California. Early in her life, she tried many things but failed at them. She then got into the theater after a children's theater production of Peter Pan and since then she knew she always wanted to be in entertainment. She was always considered to be the nice one. She would follow the rules and always get straight As. In the 7th grade, she started going to a prep school, where she said she made a lot of friends but was also bullied for her looks and being overweight. During this time, Lisa's home life wasn't doing so well, as her parents would be fighting all the time. The way she coped was by continuing to do theater and dance classes at her school, which she was featured in all the plays.
Lisa attended the University of California Irvine (UCI), where she continued to do theater. during the end of her first semester, she had gotten word that her parents were getting separated. Not wanting to face reality, she didn't go home and worked during the summer as a barista, a men's suit expert and a birthday party princess.
After graduation, she moved back home with only her dad (her mother and brother had moved out). During that time she hit rock bottom, she would have daily panic attacks and have depression. She eventually moved out and get an apartment in Hollywood, where she would go on to audition for the Fine Brothers.

She posted vlogs, comedy videos, skits, sketches as well as a few gaming videos. She has also done quite a few parodies of popular songs in collaboration with other popular YouTubers. From there she went on to doing voice acting and ultimately stepped into the hugely competitive arena of digital media.
