LISA
POLLEY
2012 Romeo
Peach Queen
Lisa is the 21 year old daughter of Glen and Dale Ann
Polley, and resides in Romeo. She has one brother, Mark,
a firefighter, who graduated from Romeo High school. She
is the Romeo High School Class of 2009 Salutatorian, and is
currently entering her senior year at Oakland University
School of Nursing, working on her Bachelor of Science
degree in Nursing. Lisa works as a Nurse Tech on the
Nursing Resource Team at Royal Oak Beaumont. She
previously worked at Addison Oaks Banquet Hall. After
graduating from Oakland, she hopes to become a full time nurse at Royal Oak Beaumont and
to pursue her doctorate in Nursing or work as a Nurse Practitioner.
Lisa is a member of Sigma Theta Tau International Nursing Honor Society, Oakland University
Dean Circle, and Student Nursing Association of Oakland University, where she is class rep and
fund-raising co-chair. She has participated in Relay for Life, volunteered at Grace Centers of
Hope, made and delivered Christmas gift baskets for the elderly and volunteered in numerous
fund-raisers.
In her leisure time, Lisa enjoys gardening, camping, playing the piano, raising quail, hunting,
running with her dog, and bonfires with family and friends.
Lisa would like to share the following with her community: “I enjoy living in Romeo with its
professional and rural heritage. I am grateful for the education I received from the Romeo
Schools. I thank God for the blessings he has given me in all aspects of my life. Thank you
for the opportunity to promote the Peach Festival, as I am proud to call Romeo my home.”
