Lisa Watkins

What separates Lisa from most real estate agents is her experience as a business owner for 28 years, her network of people, and knowing Erie County. Lisa Watkins grew up in Harborcreek and attended Behrend College. Lisa always thought there was a better place to live than Erie, so she moved to Boston MA and became an Eastern Airline Flight Attendant, this allowed her to see the country and decide where she wanted to live. During her career, Lisa always came back to Erie, to visit family and friends, even to get her hair cut! Four years later, she knew that her hometown, Erie, was THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE! Lisa worked at the family business, McCarty Printing, and opened Kimkopy in 1991.

Through the years, she has been involved in many nonprofits and served on many boards. Currently, she is an executive board member of the Hamot Health Foundation, a Member of the Erie Women’s Fund, a member of The Rotary Club of Erie. Previously, Lisa served on the board for VNA and served on the 100th yr. Anniversary Celebration,  Erie Ad Club, Erie Arts Council, Barber National Institute Advisory Board, Erie Arts Council, Barber National Institute Advisory Board, Millcreek School District Advisory Board, President of McDowell High School PSTA, former Erie Rotary President and Member of Wayside Presbyterian Church.
