I graduated from Pepperdine University in 1997 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Broadcast Journalism. After internships at CNN, Washington D.C., and KNBC-Los Angeles, I accepted my first position in television as an Editorial Assistant at KNBC. I soon decided to pursue television production and became an Associate Producer on "The Leeza Show", "Donny and Marie", and "Style Challenge", a pilot purchased from the BBC by Cher and developed by TriStar for the United States. After years of production experience, I have recently made a career change and I'm now a Corporate Recruiter with CulverCareers, the largest sales and sales management recruiting firm on the West Coast. It is a gigantic career change, but I'm enjoying every moment of learning a new and exciting business.

I am also a newlywed and happy to be referred to as Mrs. Lisa Hidalgo. I married Curtis Hidalgo on October 21, 2000, and we have made our first home in Brentwood, CA.
