Turning Green
Chief of Staff (Interim)
Strategy, operations, and thought partnership for a global youth climate leadership program
Elizabeth grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. An explorer from the start, she spent her time outside of school reading, writing, and adventuring outdoors. She played soccer with a passion, loved to travel with her family, and eagerly took on new challenges.
She pursued higher education and career development simultaneously, discovering new passions like bouldering and horse husbandry, and traveling extensively throughout the United States, Western Europe, and Southern Africa.
Elizabeth recently completed two Master of Science in Education degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, where her work focused on how people learn and how systems can better support that learning through data-driven change. She now serves as interim Chief of Staff at Turning Green, leading organizational operations and program strategy for a global youth climate leadership initiative.
When she’s not writing or leading projects, she’s out hiking with her dog Shane, planning her next adventure, or working toward one big personal goal each year, like knitting a sweater, running a marathon, or learning a new language.
With a strong foundation in human development, organizational strategy, and program leadership, Elizabeth is excited to continue growing as a leader who advances equitable, mission-driven impact. She’s especially interested in research-to-practice translation, literacy interventions, and systems-level change driven by data and compassion.
Elizabeth hopes to work with organizations that share her values — whether in nonprofit, policy, academic, or research settings — where she can contribute her analytical skills, creativity, and collaborative spirit. As she continues to grow, she looks forward to learning from new mentors, shaping meaningful projects, and leading teams toward a more just and literate world.
