Lisa Bellows
completed her Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Biology
from TWU in Denton.
She currently
serves as Science Department Chair at North Central
Texas College and teaches General Biology, Zoology,
Botany, and Environmental Science. Lisa is also engaged
in a special project of cataloging natural specimens
at the Thomsen Foundation in Forrestburg, Texas.
An avid Master
Gardener, Lisa utilizes her skills through campus beautification
projects at North Central Texas College. She is a newly
elected member of the Gainesville Independent School
Board and is very active in her church community, serving
as a lector and finance council member.
Lisa's passion
for the outdoor environment is dependent on personal
experiences and observations during her rural childhood.
Her father was a rodeo stock producer packing her through
the back roads of various rodeo arenas in Texas, Oklahoma,
New Mexico, and Colorado. Her mother is retired from
Saint Jo Independent School District where she served
long term as school librarian. This is obviously where
Lisa's roots in nature and academics are derived.
More times
than not, Lisa can be found outdoors on her hands and
knees with science students scouring the NCTC campus
for bugs, insects, wildflowers and various plants. She
is widely known by various thankful neighbors for trapping
and properly disposing of pesky animals such as skunks,
coons, and snakes.
