Following graduation from Birmingham Seaholm High School, Elizabeth went on to study advanced communications in Rome and Mass Media in London through Michigan State University. Throughout her studies and travels her professional ambitions grew. Just days after graduation she packed her bags and relocated to Los Angeles.  

Elizabeth was intuitively connected to the rapidly developing new media movement.  While laying down her roots in California she focused on coupling this movement with her knowledge and understanding of the retail and fashion industries.

In 2009 renowned fashion stylist Rachel Zoe recruited Elizabeth to join her team in developing and executing her digital media strategy.

Elizabeth played a key role in conceptualizing and managing Zoe's rapidly expanding online presence, including her daily fashion and beauty newsletter, The Zoe Report, as well as overseeing the brand's various social media platforms.

With a cultivated understanding of digital branding, a resume that also included work with Reebok, Texts From Last Night, and top entertainment conglomerate, Creative Artists Agency, coupled with a May 2011 Oprah-style “ah-ha moment” that occurred deep in the jungles of Costa Rica - Elizabeth began actualizing her first entrepreneurial venture, ClosetRich.com.

After realizing she herself was Closet Rich (i.e. the majority of her fiscal worth was tied up in her wardrobe) and certain other fashion-aficionados were facing the same dilemma, Elizabeth created a chic online portal providing private clientele a trusted place to sell their greatest fashion treasures. Launched in August 2011 to immediate acclaim, Closet Rich has rapidly become THE online shopping destination to discover pre-loved and vintage finds direct from the private closets of fashion's most regarded insiders.

In addition to growing her own lucrative online company, Elizabeth collaborates creatively with top established and emerging fashion brands in Los Angeles including: Roseark, Penelope and Coco, Helena Quinn, and Bones and Feathers Collective. Most recently she was named Chief Creative Adviser for luxury basics line, Cotton Citizen, as well as being coined by LA Canvas Magazine "One of the Top LA Creatives To Keep Your Eye On".  In addition to this honor, Elizabeth has been featured as a style expert on Huffington Post's Stylelist, Refinery 29, Lucky.com, and Glamour.com.
