One of the most important lessons she shares is "being open to listening to others who have more experience and more wisdom than ourselves". She began her college career in musical theater until one professor encouraged to to go in to journalism. Elizabeth's father was an attorney and she had never wanted to follow his career path.

She has always focused on "what is going right" which has helped her navigate the difficult times. Listen and be inspired by this determined and positive woman!
