Elisabeth was born in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Her childhood was spent outside, exploring tide pools, chasing sand crabs and building sandcastles. Family trips to North Carolina's Outer Banks deepened her curiosity as she watched dolphins, collected shells and observed wild horses along the shore.

Elisabeth moved to South Florida to attend Florida Atlantic University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in communication. Weekend drives to the Florida Keys kept her close to the water as she snorkeled, sailed and sampled local seafood. Those experiences strengthened her interest in scuba diving and travel farther afield.

After college she headed west to Colorado, trading beaches for mountains and gaining a new appreciation for alpine environments while living in Breckenridge, Vail and Avon. She has intentionally sought out roles with organizations that value outdoor recreation, travel, product innovation and conservation, aligning work with her personal commitment to nature.

Elisabeth's travels now span several continents. She has explored Tanzania, Alaska, Kauai, Iceland, New Zealand, Greece, Spain, Canada, Mexico and Costa Rica, as well as the Galapagos Islands and multiple islands in the Caribbean. Time in China and Russia broadened her perspective on global cultures and conservation challenges.

As an Adventure Specialist with Nat Hab, Elisabeth uses interpersonal skills and attention to detail to help travelers choose trips and prepare for them. She lives in Boulder, Colorado with her husband Brent and their daughters Golden and Ryder and enjoys snowboarding, hiking and time in the water.
