Lisa Rivero

Lisa Rivero grew up in rural South Dakota and now lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she enjoys teaching delightfully intense students at Milwaukee School of Engineering, cooking, reading, writing, knitting, walking, and being with her family--not necessarily in that order and often simultaneously. Her young adult book, Smart Teens' Guide to Living with Intensity, was a 2010 National Indie Excellence Award finalist and named by the Arizona Book Publishing Association as a 2011 Glyph Award Winner for both Best Juvenile/Young Adult--Nonfiction Book and Best Psychology/Self-Help Book.
