Q&A:
- Most daring adventure: deciding to sign up for a triathlon even though Liz is to water as a fish is to salsa dancing – and crossing the finish line.
- Major PR rush: succeeding in getting a previously unknown client mentioned regularly alongside the major industry incumbent.
- Did you know? Liz speaks three languages, but Italian isn’t one of them. Unless you count fluency in pasta, cheese, and wine.
- Favorite hobbies: being in motion – traveling, hiking, running, yoga, cooking up new recipes, and motorcycling. Liz has been enamored with motorcycles since age of 2 when she asked her father to seat her on a parked one.
- Dream vacation: a plane ticket to another continent, unlimited rail passes, a blank pad of paper, a long book, a cell phone, a backpack (with wheels), and a travel companion open the joy of the unknown.
- Daily inspiration: yellow Labrador, Jazz, who wakes up each morning violently cheerful despite all of her medical issues. “It’s a new day! Woo-hoo! <wag wag wag> Look, WOW! <wag wag wag> It’s a brand new day!”
