After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Liz worked in the UNC Office of Undergraduate Admissions as an admissions counselor and fell in love with information sessions and providing advice about the college process. Looking for more experience in higher education, she traveled to UT Austin to complete her master’s degree in education and spent time as an admissions counselor in UT’s Office of Admissions. Fortunately, it was at UT that Liz and Collegewise counselor Rebecca made glorious acquaintance.
Although she loved her time in Austin and working with Rebecca, Liz traveled back to her hometown, Baltimore, Maryland, to work as an assistant director of residential life at Johns Hopkins University and be closer to her family. However, the lure of live music, excellent food, and helping families through the college process at Collegewise has led her back to Austin. When Liz is not researching the latest trends in college admissions, she is looking for the best queso and BBQ restaurants in Austin and sharpening her already formidable fluting skills.
Though she's located in Austin, Liz is not just a UT Austin expert. While Collegewise Austin students are accepted at UT at five times the national admit rate, they also receive acceptances from universities all over the country! Our students have recently been admitted to the University of Virginia, Barnard, NYU, Rice, and Texas A&M.
