Elizabeth acts on stage, film, and television<\/a>. A graduate of Wesleyan (after transferring from Wellesley), she is a published essayist (\u201cChecked Baggage: Writing Unpacked<\/em><\/a>,\u201d \u201cTransforming Three Sisters<\/em><\/a>\u201d) and has a column about creative adult TCKs<\/a> at\u00a0TheDisplacedNation.com<\/a>.

Since then it has been performed at Princeton, M.I.T., Wesleyan, Williams, Augustana (SD), Carleton, and Santa Clara University in the USA<\/a>. It was the closing keynote at the Families in Global Transition (FIGT) 2014 conference. It also began its tour of international schools and US Embassies in Panama<\/a>; was sponsored by the API Cultural Center at the United States of Asian America Festival in San Francisco; and had its international theatrical debut at Tjarnarb\u00ed\u00f3 in Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I came back to the USA for college on the east coast, graduated and moved to the west coast for a career in the entertainment industry, and have been here ever since.
