Liz is a triplet who grew up and is currently residing in a New England town along Long Island Sound and on the New Haven line to New York City. She is a senior at Wellesley majoring in computer science and is one credit short of a religion or english minor. 

On campus, she finds a family away from home in her dorm, Bates Hall, as well as on the ultimate frisbee team, the Whiptails (many species of whiptail lizards are all-female). Liz works on campus as a bike share intern for Wellesley’s bike share program. She enjoys the poetry scene at Wellesley and hosted a couple video chat poetry readings during Quarantine. Additionally, Liz watched lots of tv during Quarantine: God Friended Me, Brooklyn 99, Atypical, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Dear White People and Ramy. She also read: Falter by Bill McKibben and National Geographic EARTH DAY 50th ANNIVERSARY Special Issue.

Liz was inspired to apply to the Paulson Ecology Initiative Summer Internship because she has been interested in climate change since 5th grade (it’s in writing), enjoyed working outside for Wellesley’s Sustainability Office and wanted to apply her studies and skills towards something that could make a difference in the Earth. She is grateful for this opportunity and is excited to see the end result of her independent project. 

Finally, she urges you to buy stamps and send mail, if you are able, in order to save the United States Postal Service.
