Liz was raised in St. Louis, MO, where most of her family lives in the same small neighborhood.  She graduated from Williams College in Williamstown, MA, where she studied biology and was a captain of the rowing team.  She attended medical school at MU and just couldn't bear to leave.

Liz plans to be a primary care physician.  After graduation she plans to buy a house near her family and live there for 60 years.  In her free time she enjoys hanging out with her dog, cooking, and gardening.  She goes back to St. Louis to see her nephew as often as she can and fully intents to spoil him thoroughly.
