Liz grew up in the Dayton, OH area. She attended Cedarville University as an undergrad and then Ohio State University, where she earned a Masters in Social Work. Liz moved to Chicago straight out of graduate school in 2011 in order to work at ICI, and fell in love with the ministry and the city right away. She met her husband, Jordan, in an ICI stairwell in 2014, and has enjoyed the journey of working together and doing life together in Chicago ever since.
