Lisa Waguespack Therapy
Technician
Hi, my name is Lisa
Waguespack. I have known Carol for over 18 years, and that is a long
time. First, as my therapist, then I have worked at NTS and for two
years. The people that I work with are really helpful to me. I like to
work with kids because they make me smile and I like working with the
Therapist too. I live with my Mom and Dad. They help if I need it. I
went to the Monarch School for the 9th grade and I stayed
until the 12 grade. Then, after I graduated, I went to work at NTS. I
have two cats Lanny and Marti. One is an American short hair the other
is a tabby. I have a pool in my back yard and I like to swim a lot.
