Lisa St. Claire

Lisa lives in Piedmont, California with her husband Jeff, in the same house where they raised their four children. A daughter of U.S. Foreign Service officers, she grew up in Taiwan, The Gambia, Kenya, Barbados, Florence, Italy — and, in between it all, suburban Maryland. After 25 years in finance, she is completing a Master’s Degree in Religion at Harvard Extension School (conferral May 2026). She balances political podcasts with the meditative practice of making nature mandalas from materials sourced from the local landscape (and occasionally pinched from neighbors’ yards).
