With an unwavering commitment to the mission of protecting the civil and human rights of all individuals and communities, she leads the organization’s fundraising and donor engagement strategies with integrity, empathy and purpose.

Guided by a belief that true justice is community-led and intersectional, Elizabeth continues to use her platform to help sustain and expand movements that create lasting change.

Over the course of her 20+ year career in the nonprofit and philanthropic sector, Elizabeth has dedicated herself to organizations that serve the disadvantaged and fight for the rights and welfare of marginalized people. She has served as Chief Development Officer for the Latin American Association and St. Vincent de Paul Georgia as well as worked with the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
