After graduating from Ohio State in 2009 with a BA in Psychology, Liz earned her Masters in Higher Education Administration from Texas A&M. Liz accepted a job at Florida Gulf Coast University where she organized freshman orientation. She then became the Coordinator of Student Philanthropy at Grand Valley State University. In this position, she spent a lot of time meeting with students and campus constituents about fundraising needs, planning events, and writing proposals for new programs.

Liz is now the Assistant Director of Student Life for Civic Engagement at Grand Valley State University. She is responsible for directing the Community Service Learning Center on campus where she works with nonprofit partners and plans large scale events. She considers organization, time management, budgeting, communication, and creativity to be important skills and abilities in her career.  Liz wants students to know that a “background in psych gives them a unique mix of empathy, statistical analysis, and understanding of the world around them – so it makes them stick out of a crowd.”
