Meet Lisa 💜
Editor and Coach
I’m a faculty-development coach, academic editor, and mentor. I work with faculty and senior graduate students on research ideas, scholarly writing, grant proposals, mentoring, and academic career growth. My goal is not simply to help people produce more work, but to help them become more confident and intentional researchers, writers, mentors, and thinkers.
Contact me through my editing Gmail or LinkedIn today to move your projects toward publication!
Researcher
I also direct the Intelligent Natural Interaction Technology (INIT) lab as an Associate Professor of Computer Science (CISE) at the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL.
My research asks how people think, communicate, learn, and solve problems with and through technology—especially conversational AI and other intelligent systems. I’m particularly interested in what changes when we design around how people actually behave: messily, socially, emotionally, and in context.
Contact me through my UF email or my UF website for research questions or collaborations!

Personal Bio
My most central goal is to live life as a whole person. Being a professor and academic editor have each enabled me to do so in different ways.
I’m endlessly curious and happiest when I can connect things that are usually kept separate: technology and human behavior, science and writing, logic and emotion, research and creativity. Outside work, I love animals, nature, science fiction, making things, music, and wandering toward whatever catches my interest next.
I’ve lived in Gainesville since 2013, and it has been a great place to call home.
