Lisa McCormick’s Biography
Lisa speaks on the topics of sex trafficking, drug addiction, bullying, acceptance, and her faith throughout her personal journey as a parent of a sex trafficking victim. She educates groups to encourage them to know for the signs of at risk youth, to not be afraid to talk to them and show them you care, and to give them someone to trust. Jeffrey McCormick, Lisa’s son, was a 17 year old boy from rural Wisconsin recruited into a sex trafficking ring out of Madison and exploited until his death in September, 2016. Lisa has made it her life’s purpose to share her family’s story so others understand trafficking and how easily our vulnerable children can get caught up in it. Lisa walks alongside parents, grandparents, caregivers and all others, giving hope that they are not alone in this journey.

Lisa is a member of the Wisconsin Anti Human Trafficking Advisory Council and is featured in the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families documentary film on youth sex trafficking in Wisconsin to be released in 2019. She is a frequent speaker throughout Wisconsin for educational and professional organizations as well as at schools, churches and public awareness events.
