Drawing on her corporate experience, Elizabeth has worked as an executive coach for the past ten years.

She currently volunteers at Ready Set as both a dresser and career coach and loves helping people restart their work journey. Along with her professional expertise, Elizabeth will bring the voice of the volunteers to the board, helping ensure strong connectivity between the volunteer base and the strategic decisions made by the board.
