For her education, Lisa attended Immaculate Heart of Mary high school and then went on to graduate from Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Broadcast Journalism.
Lisa has talked about how she always dreamed of a future career in journalism, even as a child.

Career, Job, Salary and Net Worth :

Lisa started her career in the snowy hills of Traverse City, Michigan, at WPBN-TV. She refers to her time there as being part of a one-person band.
Working at WPBN-TV, Lisa had to lug 40 lbs of equipment up ice-covered hills and blizzards. This was the point that she really knew that she wanted to stick to this as her career. She stayed there for a little over two and a half years and later headed to work for WTVF in Nashville.

At WTVF, Lisa worked as a morning reporter and would have to be up early when it was still dark. Despite the tough hours, she kept going as she was proud of the fact that it was this station that Oprah Winfrey got her start in television. She worked there for two years before moving further south to Houston to work for KHOU-TV.
At KHOU, Chavarria covered everything from hurricane preparations to the Presidential visit in the two years she worked there. She moved back to her hometown of Chicago after this to work for WFLD, where she stayed for five years.

In 2011, Lisa won the local Houston sports radio website contest as Houston’s “Hottest Media Woman,” something she sees as both an honor and an embarrassment.

I knew Lisa when she was a child. My daughter was a classmate of hers. She was a very nice kid. Her parents are good people, too. I’m very happy she has pursued her dreams and is doing so well.
