In The Nature Conservancy’s California Chapter, Elizabeth provides science leadership to different projects in the Cities Strategy. She is helping to develop a greenprint for the Southern California Association of Governments, a conservation tool that will help organizations consider nature in the planning process across the greater Southern California region. She also aids on the disaster resilience team to understand how nature-based solutions can help to mitigate the impacts of natural disasters caused by climate change.

Prior to working for TNC, Elizabeth received her PhD at the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management at University of California Santa Barbara. The focus of her research was the ecological and social management of vertebrate invasive species.
