"Liz joined our team at a critical moment and immediately brought clarity, organization, and steady leadership to our operations. She has an extraordinary ability to step into complex situations, see both the big picture and the details, and move work forward with calm, capable confidence. Her presence made a meaningful difference to our workflow, morale, and outcomes. She is a true stabilizer and problem-solver, and we are stronger for her contributions."
"Elizabeth worked with me as a graduate assistant, teaching assistant, co-presenter (AERA), and most recently as a co-author of a manuscript [published in the Journal of American College Health (2025)]. She was highly professional and proficient in every role: smart, organized, reliable, and just a pleasure to collaborate with as a researcher, educator, and writer. Whoever has the good fortune of hiring Elizabeth will find her to be a valuable asset to their team."
Redlining policies, beginning with the National Housing Act (NHA) in 1934, are examples of a pervasive institutional history of racism that we continue to recover from today. The outcome of these policies was that Black families could not accrue wealth because they could not establish home equity that is the foundation of financial stability for many Americans.
Efforts to change or remove these policies have not been enough: the consequences of historic redlining policies are still negatively impacting redlined districts and their communities today. Although the current government is not directly responsible for redlining practices, they have a moral and civic duty to implement new policies that will positively change the outcomes of redlining and prevent that sort of institutionalized racism in the future.
"I worked with Elizabeth when she was a student in the Psychology Department at Dominican University of California. She was an outstanding student: thoughtful, timely, organized, and consistently producing excellent work while contributing positively to the class environment. I knew she would have a very successful graduate experience, and that proved to be true. If I were ever in a position to hire her, I would. Truly an exceptional individual."
