Liz has had a deep interest in the nonprofit and social service sector for many years.  Prior to joining MGS, she worked as a registered nurse’s assistant at an assisted living community, as well as a program coordinator for a local youth shelter.  Her interest and skill in social research were furthered during her time at the Innovative Programs Research Group at the University of Washington, where she used her analytical and organizational skills to assist several ongoing research projects in the fields of HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, and domestic violence.

Liz graduated from the University of Washington in 2006, with a BA in History with an emphasis in Medical History and Ethics.  She enjoys both the interpersonal and technical aspects of working with diverse community populations and the organizations that seek to serve them.  Her colleagues and clients value her excellent communication, attention to detail, and ability to adapt to change.
