ContributorLisa Philip is an occasional contributor to ¼ª²ÊÍøÍøÕ¾. Previously, she covered education for the station and covered schools in Howard County, Maryland for the Baltimore Sun newspapers. She traveled from school playgrounds to the state legislature, writing about everything from a Girl Scout friendship bench project to a state investigation into local school officials' alleged hiding of public records.
Lisa initially became interested in education reporting while working for an after school music education program in five Baltimore City schools. In her former life, she trained and worked as a professional violist and arts administrator. She has been telling stories since age 5, when she wrote and (poorly) illustrated her first book, "Mary and the Key Lime Pie."
Lisa left ¼ª²ÊÍøÍøÕ¾ in May 2019.
