Lisa Kreamer is currently the Student Service Manager at Brooks Institute in Ventura, California. She has a Masters of Art in Art Education and a Bachelors of Fine Art in Studio Art from the University of Arizona. She works with students from the Graphic Design, Film and Video Production and Visual Journalism degree programs, helping them with their Visual Identity, Resume & Cover letters, Interview Skills and job search skills in preparation for the transition from school to work. She also works with the off-campus non-profit work study program, placing students in community service positions throughout the county. Lisa oversees the mentorship program and is developing volunteer/community service opportunities for students.

Lisa began her career as a news photographer at the Arizona Daily Star. Shortly after she moved to Germany and spent several years in Europe traveling and working. On her return to the States Lisa entered a Religious Community and worked in Brooklyn as the Youth and Culture Coordinator at the Dr. White Community Center. Over the next 15 years Lisa worked in education, first running a career center at a local High School and then becoming the coordinating advisor for the University of Arizona’s School of Art.

Lisa works on the premise that humanitarian work is found where you live, part of your everyday. Whether it is the extra time you take with your family, the person on the street who needs assistance, or the trash you pick up and throw away when you take a walk, it is how you respond to the needs in your path each day that make the difference. Some can contribute with money, some contribute time or expertise in their field. Whatever your calling, each of us is part of a larger community and responsible for becoming a positive impact on that community.
