Lisa
Gallagher was born in Bolton, Lancashire in 1977 and was educated
at Sharples School. She went on to graduate from the University
of Hull with a BSc. Hons 2.1 degree in geography. Since graduating
she has worked as a computer cartographer and then, prior to
joining the Met Office, as a member of cabin crew flying out
of Manchester airport". I really enjoyed the job but do
admit to wanting to get off the plane with the passengers in
the downroute destination!"
Lisa joined the Met Office in September 1999
and spent some time training at the Met Office college in
Reading before moving to the BBC Television Centre in London
to support the team of national broadcasters on domestic,
News 24 and world service.
After spending 18 months in London, Lisa is
very pleased to be back in the north and presenting the weather
in a region where she spent many a weekend rambling round
the countryside on field trips from university. Lisa has recently
joined a gym in an attempt to get fit after years of being
a self-confessed lazy chocoholic! In her spare time she enjoys
reading, drawing, socialising with friends and aspires to
one day owning a Porsche 911.
