Biographical Information

Lisa Collis, First Lady of Virginia from 2002-2006, was born in Pensacola, Florida. She grew up in a Navy family and lived in seven states before settling in Falls Church, Virginia. Ms. Collis attended George C. Marshall High School, earned her Bachelor's degree in Biology at the University of Virginia and received her Masters degree in Public Health at the University of Texas.
