Lisa Eldritch (Nee Pin)

Hi, I’m Lisa --- You can call me Lise—most of my friends do. I'm an English Literature grad who fell in love with the power of storytelling and how words can connect people.
I’m currently working on my Master’s in Creative Writing, and I’m beyond thrilled to be part of HAPHE. I believe in writing that makes people feel seen and understood, which is why HAPHE’s mission of self-discovery and emotional well-being resonates so deeply with me.

About Me

Fun fact: I once spent a summer volunteering at a cat sanctuary, and I still dream of opening my own little cat café someday!
Favorite Quirk:
One of my quirks? I tend to doodle tiny flowers and stars in the margins of my notebooks whenever I’m deep in thought. Also, I have this weird knack for making up spontaneous, silly songs about my friends on the spot. It’s a fun way to make people laugh!
Favorite Comfort Food or Song:
For comfort, nothing beats a hot bowl of tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich on a rainy day. As for music, "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac always brings me a sense of calm and clarity—it’s like an instant mood reset.
Superpower:
If I could have any superpower, I’d choose instant teleportation. Imagine popping over to a quiet cabin by the lake to write or teleporting to a bustling city for inspiration, all without the hassle of travel!
Hobbies or Passions:
I’m really into pottery lately and just started a ceramics class. There’s something grounding about working with clay—it feels like meditation. I also love experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, and if I’m not doing that, I’m probably listening to a podcast. My current favorite is On Being with Krista Tippett.

Three Favorites!

If I could invite any three people to dinner, I’d pick Maya Angelou for her wisdom, Freddie Mercury for his spirit, and David Attenborough to hear his incredible stories about the natural world. I imagine it would be an unforgettable night of stories, laughter, and a little singing.
