As an occupational and physical therapy aide in an inpatient setting for the last three years, Lizzie has had the opportunity to work with those in vulnerable health situations, providing care for other's physical needs while supporting and comforting them in their mental/emotional needs. Lizzie's favorite part of the job is when she has extra time to stay behind in a patient's room and learn about their story. As she finishes her graduate program, Lizzie can't wait for all the opportunities she will have to hear the stories of others and come along side in their journey to healing.  Lizzie operates by the principle that all people are made in the image of God and have unique gifts and perspectives that they offer the world. Lizzie views companioning others in their struggles and journey towards healing as a sacred privilege.

 

Lizzie is a lover of many things, but especially the serenity and reflection that nature brings. Although loyal to Ohio, she has a bucket list of national parks she'd love to visit. On relaxed days, Lizzie enjoys lounging in her house with her two cats and husband. Lizzie's favorite things are slow Saturday mornings, big breakfasts with her hubby, audiobooks, and pensive talks with friends.
