Lisa Goldman

==Background==
Lisa Goldman was a physician's assistant in the town of Westfield. 
Lisa survived the first year following the zombie outbreak by living at the Westfield School. Her medical training appropriated her as the resident doctor to the other survivors. Lisa ran in the election that followed Senator Stockwell's death, and won. A great leader, Lisa organized training for folks so that skills were shared, insuring that no one was the only person to know anything. She maintained good safety decisions, put everyone else before her and seemed like she actually cared about the other survivors. She initially thought that the Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy survivors should move to Westfield, but later after they refused, she went with Mike during their first trade mission to give everyone physicals. Lisa made the decision not to commit to violent action at the Farm, unless provided with irrefutable proof of wrongdoing. However, she did offer all the medical assistance they would need. Unfortunately that is just what she would have to do following the attach and many injuries that were sustained. She'd had Mike begin putting up signs around Westfield and near Lenny's farm for returning survivors to approach the school peacefully if they needed food, and demanded that Kimberly come to Westfield immediately after finding out that she'd had no prenatal care. Around the first anniversary of their time at the school, Lisa seemed weary of having the lead role, and may have given up the position after the first year, even though she had brought a much needed stability to the survivors there. In late spring, Lisa performed the delivery's of three Westfield children and one Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy baby. She had begun to see a need for increased protein in the survivor's diets and on July 13, threw a celebration for her people after the generator was repaired. That night, Lisa spoke with Mike, Lenny and LaFrenz about Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy, and the possibility of moving there as the situation at the school continued to deteriorate. She didn't want to cause a panic, so she kept the knowledge of their discussion among a few select, trusted individuals. The night of the fire, Lisa was in the cafeteria with Mike discussing Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy, which for some reason they'd begun to call, The Bastion. When they smelled smoke, she went to the second floor of the school where the primary living quarters were. Lisa sustained sever burns, and was almost attacked by Vicky Brown. She had two options and chose one that she felt would provide an exit from the school. As she barreled down the stairs, she flew into a group of people near the door that had been chained by the arsonist. Lisa realized that the people she'd run into had died in the fire and turned. She had to decide whether to escape back through the fire or give in to the zombies. An ankle bite gave up all hope for her.
