Elizabeth is an author and a Harvard-educated lawyer, with experience in animal law and environmental law. While in law school, she worked on issues related to farmed animals, wild animals, and captive animals with Harvard’s Animal Law & Policy Clinic. She was also in the inaugural cohort of Emerging Scholar Fellows with the Brooks Institute for Animal Rights Law and Policy, where she worked on animal law scholarship. After two clerkships—with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and the Federal District Court in Arizona—Elizabeth litigated with one of the top environmental nonprofits in the country. Her first book, Forget The Camel: The Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human, was published in 2025.

Elizabeth is Christian and uses both naturalistic and more intuitive, spiritual forms of epistemology. She is vegan and has, at least, a sentiocentric moral scope.
