Early Life & Education

Griffith, indicated by a dot on this map, is where Frazier spent the majority of her childhood

Frazier was born as Lisa Anne Mazzocotto in Melbourne, Australia on the 13th of March, 1969. As a child, she grew up on a small family fruit farm near Griffith, New South Wales, where she grew apricots, plums, grapes, and other crops. During her time on the farm, she attended both primary and secondary school during the days, and helped out on her farm after school and on holidays. She was faced by the 1979-1983 Eastern Australian Drought, which forced her farm into a poor financial state.

Following several years as an engineer both in Melbourne and in the United States, she was accepted into Kellogg Business School. During her time in the business school, she joined the rugby team, winning the Women's Business School Rugby Championship.

During this time, she was promoted to a two-star chief in the NYFD, and the report her team compiled helped to prepare responses in the event of other attacks.
