During this time, lisa worked as an Environmental Health inspector, senior Environmental Health inspector, and when she retired a couple of weeks ago, she retired as the manager of one of the citys food districts this is actually some of the toughest work. We honor first responders, we honor people who do incredible work like clean our sewers, but Health Inspectors have it really , really tough. Lisa was in charge of much of the district that we have represented on and off for the last 20 years. North beach and chinatown. She was absolutely instrumental in increasing the health and Safety Standards within chinatown, outside of chinatown and i have to say, despite the irrational fear of the government and Health Inspectors in particular, particularly in the Restaurant Industry, lisa is incredibly regarded by the community because she understands the local business culture, the local culture, the practices, she is fair, sh
