ABOUT LIZ:
Liz has a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications Studies with an emphasis in Healthcare Administration from Dixie State University. She has been in the healthcare field for years. She was a private scrub for the Orthopedic Trauma Team at Dixie Regional Medical Center. Liz has also worked at Intermountain LDS Hospital as well as the Ogden Clinic in sports medicine.
Remembering back to her first time in an operating room as an orderly, Liz had watched a laparoscopic appendectomy and thought how it was the most amazing thing she’d ever seen. It had empowered her, inspiring the ever increasing wonder of medicine and the power to heal others. Now with her position with RVU, Liz said she wants to “find meaningful rotations for students to that they can feel empowered in their education and careers.”
She is from Arizona but moved to Southern Utah with her family, and even though they moved away, she stayed and now resides in Northern Utah. With too many hobbies to choose from, Liz does enjoy a handful of outdoor activities such as snow skiing, wake boarding and hiking, which explains her “almost religious experience” with the Redwoods that she loves so much. When Liz is not out on the greens holding a nine iron, she can be found with a controller in her hands, playing video games.
