Elizabeth studied Poetry Writing and Religion at the University of Virginia. The summer after her first year of college, she returned to Zambia (where her family had lived for five years) to volunteer at an orphanage while compiling a photo-essay. Upon her return, she created a website to raise funds and awareness for the orphanage. She also created a photo-essay focusing on the effects of Hurricane Mitch on a small community in rural Honduras. At UVA, she co-founded an organization to educate students about the prevalence and prevention of eating disorders.
