She received her undergraduate degree at Elmira College in Elmira, New York in 2020. In college Elizabeth triple majored in political science, criminal justice, and legal studies with a concentration in American politics. Elizabeth was also the founder and captain of Elmira College’s first ever competitive mock trial team. During her time on the team, she won many awards for her role as a closing attorney.
At Richmond Law, Elizabeth is part of many student organizations, has taken multiple courses on advanced trial advocacy, and is a member of the Moot Court Board. She aspires to practice civil trial work after she graduates law school.
Outside of coaching mock trial and being a full-time law student, Elizabeth shamelessly enjoys binge watching reality TV shows and spending time at home with her Fiance, Ben, and her pet hedgehog, Pumpernickel.
