As the granddaughter of a rural primary care physician,
Elizabeth learned early on about the value of quality and accessible healthcare. Traveling abroad as a military dependent, she developed a love for world cultures, which led her to study cultural anthropology at American University. Elizabeth went on to earn dual masters degrees from The George Washington University in public health & health sciences, where she was recognized as her cohort’s most outstanding graduate student. She then completed a doctoral degree in medical science at the University of Lynchburg. By combining her study of anthropology and public health with her clinical and leadership skills, Elizabeth hopes she is making a difference in addressing the complex healthcare needs of one of the most dynamic and diverse cities in the world — Washington, DC. She is particularly passionate about empowering patients to advocate for themselves and expanding opportunities for direct conversations about preventative health. She is a life-long learner, passionate about the PA profession, and committed to helping the next generation of clinicians.
