Eliza joined the Student Outreach and Support team in Spring 2023. Prior to this position she worked at other arts colleges and community based contemporary arts organizations in Washington D.C & Miami FL. In these roles she supported the execution of educational programs and the install of large scale exhibitions.

She is an artist, energy work practitioner and values alignment coach. Through these practices, she creates images and facilitates healing spaces that work to inspire reconnection to self, others, and the more than human world.

She finds endless pleasure and joy in being a friend, sister, daughter, and granddaughter. Wonder is one of her favorite feelings. Surrender is where she finds the most healing.

The ocean is her favorite place.
