Lisha G
Born in China, Lisha moved to America at the age of 9. In her first few years here, Lisha became fluent in English, gained an abnormal love for boy bands and glitter lip gloss, and learned to love pizza. Growing up an only child made her realize she wanted a big family.
Lisha is a graduate of Auburn University and Cumberland School of Law. She and her husband (Henry) are proud parents of twin boys, a daughter, and a dog named Cosmo.
Being a full-time lawyer and a mom of 3 presents obvious challenges, but Lisha has found that the (more than) occasional glass of wine with friends helps her through. In her spare time, Lisha enjoys playing the violin, reading, cooking, and traveling.
