Lisa Farver has written professionally in and around Chicago since 2009. In her free time, she performs standup comedy and personal storytelling throughout Chicago. Lisa also moonlights as a children's birthday party entertainer, so when she's not spinning comedic yarns, she's twisting balloons for kids.
Writing for Patch combines two of Lisa's passions: talking to human beings and sharing their stories.
