About Me

Lisa Emrich is a professional musician. She happens to live with multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis while keeping a close eye on the monster which is depression. She did nothing to cause her chronic illness but she seeks to live well in spite of it.

In 2007, Lisa began blogging at Brass and Ivory, focusing primarily on health policy issues and big pharma. By December she decided to start talking about multiple sclerosis and it’s effect on her daily life. Subsequently she cultivated a thriving community of MS Bloggers who collaborate on the bi-weekly Carnival of MS Bloggers.

Lisa believes that, by sharing information and discussing ideas, experiences, and opinions, we can nurture and support each other on this journey together. With knowledge and support comes empowerment in the face of the unknown.

Lisa holds a B.M.E. in Music Education from the University of Oklahoma, a M.M. in Music Performance from Baylor University, and is a doctoral candidate in Music Literature and Brass Pedagogy at Indiana University.

She lives in the Washington, D.C. area and teaches out of her home music studio.
