Liz grew up in Boise, Idaho, and made her way to Utah for her undergraduate years at BYU, where she studied public health and discovered a love for the intersection of patient education and hands-on care. Before PA school, she worked as a Medical Assistant and eventually Lead Medical Assistant at a family medicine clinic, and she served as an Anatomy Lab Teaching Assistant at BYU. Those experiences confirmed what she already suspected: she wanted to be in the room with patients, not behind a desk. Liz completed her PA training at Midwestern University in Glendale, rotating through specialties ranging from emergency medicine to maternal-fetal medicine. It was her women's health rotations that sealed the deal. She was drawn to the way OB/GYN care lets her walk alongside women through every stage of life, from first prenatal visits to well-woman care and everything in between.
Enjoys reading, puzzles, crafting, baking, listening to music, playing piano. Fun fact: loves roller coasters - the crazier, the better.
