WHAT MAKES HER AWESOME AT HER JOB
I love finding the EXHALE in a moment/situation that may seem chaotic, in order to find the elevation. What does that means?! Connection is key. I try to connect people together who can grow and inspire each other no matter what the situation. We all learn from each other, in order to ELEVATE ourselves. Once we’re comfortable with ourselves physically, intellectually and energetically, there’s nothing sweeter than that feeling like you can finally release into the deepest exhale and enjoy this party we call life! I’m a seeker of true joy and get my greatest joy from seeing that joyous light shine in others!

Words to Live By: "I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”. - Dr Maya Angelou

GET TO KNOW LIZ

Fave Tech device: Umm, Google Home (speaker device) + iPhone - HANDS DOWN!…though I have a hard time putting my hands down with my phone nearby!

When you're not tutor matchmaking: I’m on my yoga mat …or my phone. It’s a life struggle.
What's the best thing about you? At any given moment, I always have a song playing in my mind. Honestly, ask me next time I see you. You would think I would go insane but music is often where my joy comes from. There’s a song for any and every emotion.
NERD ALERT!
I clean/organize when I’m stressed. Cleansing the external brings order to the internal for me. I find scrubbing very meditative.
I’m a Trekkie, not a fan of the original. My love started with TNG and yes I’m watching Discovery now and I still try to fit star trek vocab/lingo in my everyday life.
