A documentary editor with a background in story producing, Elizabeth has contributed to films that have been nominated for an Emmy, won an Oscar, and been distributed by The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and Scientific American. Elizabeth began her career in documentary in post-production at the Los Angeles based Oscar-winning short documentary firm Breakwater Studios.
