Elizabeth was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas and earned her Bachelor of Arts in International Studies from Texas A&M University. Her studies of global relations combined with her concern for global climate change led her to pursue a career in environmental justice. Her service year in AmeriCorps confirmed not only her passion for service, but her commitment to improving underserved communities in Texas and beyond. Her education and background led her to Houston where she is currently a 2L at South Texas College of Law. She is excited about the opportunity to work with Bayou City Waterkeeper and to help advance their goals of giving communities power and justice for issues stemming from environmental pollution.
