Personal
Elizabeth relocated from Philadelphia to Houston with her family. She spends her free time in many ways, enjoying cooking/baking, watching shows about the paranormal or anything spooky, and hanging out with her friends. Elizabeth looks forward to taking her pit bull out for a run every day. She takes the opportunity to travel; the world has so much to offer and she wants to experience it all.
