For eight years, she wrote feature articles for PC Solutions magazine, and has written for other prominent magazines such as Bucks County Woman and Performing Songwriter. Her private clients include businesses across industry spectrums, including architecture and custom building, financial services, software development, branding/marketing firms, and arts/film/entertainment to name a few. One of her most recent clients was the PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART CRAFT SHOW where she served on the PR Consulting Team. An accomplished songwriter, LisaBeth describes how songwriting ties into her work as a freelance writer. ”My background as a songwriter brings a creative infusion to my copywriting work,, which is a differentiator and a benefit to clients.”
LisaBeth has given a TEDx TALK on Creativity Beyond the Arts based on her mission of helping people discover their own creativity whether it’s in the arts or not. LisaBeth was the Production Supervisor and Publicist on the independent feature film THE NORTH STAR, starring former Philadelphia Eagles football player Jeremiah Trotter, Clifton Powell, John Diehl, and Lynn Whitfield, with a score by Ramsey Lewis and his son Frayne Lewis. Her record, THE FIRE TOWER SESSIONS, was produced and engineered by Grammy maker, BIL VORNDICK (Ralph Stanley, Bela Fleck, Alison Krauss). LisaBeth has opened shows for Nanci Griffith, Ralph Stanley, Dave Grisman, Roy Clark, and over 50 others, along with having two songs featured on NPR’s CARTALK. Her song TROUBLE MAN (a tribute to linemen working in storms) was featured in the credits of the John Travolta/Sharon Stone film LIFE ON THE LINE. She is also known for her popular and unique handmade CAUSE PINS, worn by Hillary Clinton, Gloria Steinem, Madeleine Albright, Mia Farrow, Blair Underwood, and more. In 2008, LisaBeth was selected by the office of Congressman Patrick Murphy to create an ornament for the WHITE HOUSE CHRISTMAS TREE, and she was invited to the White House for an artist reception. LisaBeth was in Theater Management for six years at the SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL, and worked in Filmmaker Guest Services at the PHILADELPHIA FILM FESTIVAL for seven festivals.
