== Introduction ==
== Introduction==
Mistress Elysabeth Underhill, nicknamed Lissa, (she/her/hers), is currently focused on informally supporting the Arts and Sciences in the East Kingdom, and on working to improve her skill with a rapier. She is working on learning Northern Italian Rapier by taking classes, reading manuals, and attending practices. She is also dabbling in Martial A&S activities and learning more about historic pottery.


Lady Elysabeth Underhill (Lissa)
Previously to this focus, she spent several years working for the Ministry of Arts and Sciences, and before that her focus was on learning and teaching the art of glass bead making.


Please know that Lissa is always happy to teach her art, discuss research methods (she is a Librarian by profession), or provide general SCA mentorship. Teaching in SCA is extremely important to her, and something she is comfortable doing, so please do not hesitate to ask if you think she can help. She believes that deeper associations and relationships grow out of these initial interactions.
