Biography

While earning her screenwriting MFA from Stephens College, Elizabeth hugged the inimitable Winnie Holzman and was imbued with the singular grit of storytelling mothers. An actor for stage and screen since ages 11 and 36, respectively, hailing from the hallowed streets of Dayton, OH, Elizabeth briefly considered becoming a lawyer until she realized she just wanted to play one on TV (Better Call Saul, S04 E04).

Now a flourishing Moonshot Feature Accelerator Fellow, Stowe Story Labs Launch Fellow, ISA FastTrack Finalist, WeScreenplay Diverse Voices Finalist, and George R.R. Martin Screenwriting Grant Finalist, Elizabeth loves to tell all the love stories, especially when they're gay. The Black List says Elizabeth’s "dialogue sparkles." Her writing has "a little something for everybody," is "smart...beautiful and charming," and her personal favorite, "hilariously awkward."

Elizabeth's current plans are to become her own gatekeeper (see also: executive produce her first feature), queer the rom-com canon, and become a surgeon (on TV).
