Lisa's Story
After high school, I got my BA at UC Davis and my Master's and Ph.D. at Princeton. English, just like my Dad. Having had dozens of jobs including dog-walking and waiting tables, I feel lucky to have finally found a job that I like. Teaching gives me time to think and enjoy life as well as help others.
I live in Rochester, NY, where I teach English at a local college (St. John Fisher C). I've been married since 1991 to a fellow professor and sociologist-anthropologist (Steve Derne, SUNY-Geneseo).

d me to India, which I love.
We have three cats and a horse, but no kids.
I ride and train horses when I can. Right now I'm working with an off-track thoroughbred whose philosophy is "jump first, think later."
I sing in a local early-music ensemble (Christ Church Schola Cantorum). I guess you could say that I'm one of the hundreds of ex-students who were inspired by Kathy Fujikawa (Wilbur Jr. High) to make vocal music a lifelong avocation.
I'm a lifelong techie and part-time webmaster, mostly for local non-profits, photographers, and writers. My personal website is at jadwin dot net.
Steve grew up in Redlands and both of our families are still in California. We miss California but enjoy western NY and love living here.
