Lizzie (her full name is Elizabeth, but she goes by Lizzie) describes herself as creative, empathetic, and adaptable. She graduated from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville with a degree in Audiology and Speech Pathology. Lizzie then moved to Oregon to work as a Speech Therapist Assistant for a non-profit pediatric clinic where she gained exposure to her first assistive technology, speech generating devices, and augmentative alternative communication (AAC) devices.. When she moved back to Tennessee, she worked as a sales representative for a company that manufactured AAC devices. A few years later, she landed back in the non-profit world where she became an Assistive Technology Specialist working with individuals of all ages and disabilities.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
–"I love hiking with my dogs in the woods and going rock climbing. I also bake relatively often, and when I find the time or inspiration to do so I like to draw or paint."
What are you passionate about?
–"I have a true passion for dogs, especially my Golden Retrievers... But I also have a passion for overall health and wellbeing. Food and exercise for the body and mind are major drivers in many of my decisions which, in turn, allows me the energy to do other things I love, like helping others. I am a firm believer in getting back from the world what you put into it. Kindness, open-mindedness, and patience are priceless… and free."
Any hidden talents?
–"I can say the alphabet backwards."
Is there anything else that you'd like to say to our subscribers?
–"I am incredibly grateful for the life decisions I’ve made that have led me to LVI!"
