Originally from: Yorktown, NY
Bio: Liz was born and raised in Yorktown Heights, NY, where she attended Yorktown High School. From there, she moved to New Orleans, La. to study communications at Tulane University. Her interest in communications evolved into an interest in journalism after Hurricane Katrina devastated the New Orleans community that she'd grown to love. Katrina highlighted the vital role journalism plays in a community that needs accurate, trusted information and where ordinary people often perform the extraordinary.
Upon graduating from Tulane, Liz returned to New York where she earned a masters degree in community journalism from New York University. She focused on using multi-media reporting to tell the stories of people and communities throughout the boroughs. Prior to working at Patch, Liz worked as the Director of Communications for a large, national non-profit organization in New York City, where she was the editor of its print and web publications and helped to modernize the communications department.
