A long-time classical Christian education advocate, Lisa is privileged to serve, build, and belong to a community committed to investing in shared values toward strong future outcomes.

Working alongside various visionary leaders over the years – in higher education and non-profits – Lisa finds satisfaction in achieving strategic goals by serving in both public-facing and behind-the-scenes roles.

In her most important position, Lisa is a proud mom of three young men who are secondary students at Providence.

Lisa is curious about people’s uniqueness and values genuine connection and sincerity. While she believes there is a thoughtful Lewis quote suitable for most every situation in life, certainly at times only breaking out into song will do. Lisa experiences beauty in the arts, space in order, and freedom in grace. Always up for travelogues, the UK is next on her passport list. Lisa’s typical reading stack: theology, parenting, psychology, education, nutrition, domestic arts, and modern design.

The Sandeno family are members of Trinity Church Seattle (PCA) in Ballard.
