Hi, I’m Liz! I grew up in Tallahassee Florida and II currently reside in Atlanta, Georgia. I’ve always had a deep curiosity for the ocean and a respect for all of the knowns and unknowns within it. Following my strong nurturing passion for helping people, I became a nurse. I worked as a travel nurse throughout various places in the US (often a stones throw from the water) and eventually carried my career forward to become a nurse practitioner. I specialize in the electrical system in the heart. I love understanding our bodies and how the environment (and how we treat it) plays a (critical) role in acute and chronic diseases. My curiosity for the ocean, my love for our environment and my unwavering passion for people lead me down the road of exploring everything plastics and how it disrupts our ecosystems both externally and internally. I am courageous and brave, patient and kind and I absolutely love the outdoors and feeling the awes of the Earth. Every day I am humbled with what the world (and each other) has to teach me and I hope together we can leave a positive impact on our world and within each other as a team. When I’m not working or researching, you can find me running or nose deep in the latest fiction series. I also hope to learn the harmonica, start making my own sourdough bread (little behind the curve) and deepen by curiosity into the world of microplastics!
