ALUMNI STORIES
Meet Lisa!
Lisa decided to make a career change after retiring from the Pittsburgh Police Department in 2004. She wanted to do something to help families during one of their greatest times of need and decided to become a licensed funeral director. After graduating from PIMS in 2005 and took a strong interest in restorative art, taking great pride in providing families with as much comfort as possible. Her professional skills were greatly influenced by teachings from M Roger Walker, Dr Barry T Lease and Dr. Joseph Marsaglia Jr., all three of whom she considers mentors.
She is currently enjoying the most rewarding aspect of her career working at Tunie Funeral Home Inc. in Homestead, PA along with being a clinical embalming supervisor at PIMS, instructing new students the art of embalming. In her free time, she gives back to her community by mentoring young females in life skills.
OK, now it’s YOUR turn! We’d love to feature you on the site. Share your story with us and let us know what you’re doing post-graduation now.
