Elizabeth is currently a music major at her local community college. After losing her husband and struggling for years to figure out what to do next, she decided to return to school. Elizabeth shares that with the scholarship assistance, she is creating her future while modeling for her 12-year-old daughter that even when horrible things happen, one can and must pick themselves up and keep moving forward.
She has recently developed an interest in music therapy and has met with therapists who use music to assist children with Autism and other neurodivergences as well as at various hospices. Based upon her personal experience with monumental loss, Elizabeth is inspired to use music and education to help others facing the difficult journey of grief and loss.
Southwest Type 1 IMT Human Resource Specialist Patty Brookins shares, “I met Liz under the worst of circumstances when her husband perished in a helicopter crash. We have since stayed in touch and I have followed her progress as she rebuilds her life. She is dedicated to her daughter and will thrive in the creative world of music. She is a born teacher who will excel in all she puts her mind to as she becomes an asset to others who are suffering.”
