An award-winning author, consultant, and media educator, Lisa empowers organizations to strengthen their media literacy, advance inclusive storytelling, and integrate equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) into their creative and strategic practices. She currently serves as Director of Communications for G-Woman Media, where she leads strategic narrative development for the world’s first women-owned, women-led, and women-backed global media leadership accelerator. Through workshops, consulting, content analysis, and leadership training, she equips teams with the insight and tools needed to build authentic and impactful narratives in today’s global media landscape.

Lisa’s expertise bridges research, representation, and real-world strategy. She has reshaped international conversations on gender and power in media through her acclaimed books, including Resisting James Bond: Power and Privilege in the Daniel Craig Era (Bloomsbury 2023), Geographies, Genders, and Geopolitics of James Bond (Palgrave 2017), and For His Eyes Only: The Women of James Bond (Wallflower 2015). Beyond Bond, her research explores topics such as Chinese warrior women, the #MeToo movement in American media, and global storytelling in the 21st century.
