During that time Lisa completed her Bachelor’s degree in Special Education at Millersville University, but after a promotion to Marketing Director at Penn National, she pursued a marketing career.

JORDAN SALLADE
Jordan attended Penn State University in pursuit of an Elementary Education degree after graduating from high school here in Central PA. After getting married and starting a family of her own, she decided to explore other career paths and joined the BRP team in 2017. What, at the time, seemed to be a happenstance career change, has sparked a passion for entertainment, music and meaningful events that Jordan has had throughout her life.
Jordan’s most meaningful aspiration, however, is that of being a mother, wife, sister, daughter, and friend. In her spare time, she enjoys participating in the music ministry at her church alongside her husband, Nick. Together her and her family also enjoy antiquing, traveling, gardening, and cooking.

This includes not only working at BRP, but also performing in music and theatre productions, songwriting, acting, making character appearances in the community and teaching/guiding others with similar passions. She enjoys finding additional opportunities to work alongside children in developing their creativity, confidence, and love for the arts.
