Her background ranges from working within HR/staffing, non-profit and community-based organizations, college-level career placement centers and county government. Over her career, Lizzie has successfully managed multiple employment programs, in which she was directly responsible for the overall implementation, coordination, evaluation, and performance-based outcomes.
