Liz was born and raised in New Jersey. After graduating from Rutgers University with a B.S. in Animal Science and a specialization in pre-veterinary medicine and research, she spent the next 13 years working in various roles in the animal care field. Inspired by her mother, who was a nurse, Liz decided to change careers- from helping animals to helping people. Having witnessed the effects of addiction in her personal life, she felt a strong calling to support the recovery community. Liz is now following her passion for helping others by working at Restore.
