Elizabeth currently serves as the Assistant Director and Head of the Research & Instruction Department at Tisch Library, Tufts University. In her position she is responsible for developing, promoting, and assessing the teaching and learning strategy of the library both within her department as well as across the library liaison program.

During her tenure at Vermont, Elizabeth was awarded the 2012 Milton H. Crouch Faculty Excellence in Research Award, and her sabbatical research on data management services won the 2018 Best Publication Award by the American Society for Engineering Education’s Engineering Libraries Division.
A native of Madison, Wisconsin, she lives just outside of Boston with her husband, Abe, and their daughter, Natalie, but still cheers for her beloved Badgers and Packers.
