Elizabeth is a graduate of The George Washington University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in International Affairs with a concentration in International Development. She was also a member of the university’s Division I women’s rowing team, leading them to their first NCAA appearance since 1998. Additionally, Elizabeth served as Internal Vice President of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, where she organized community events for student-athletes and acted as a liaison to advocate for their needs within the athletic department.

In her spare time, she likes to volunteer at a local community garden in Edgewood that focuses on food insecurity in the neighborhood. She also loves hiking and camping, taking every opportunity to explore the outdoors and connect with nature.
