world.

Originally from
Needles, California on the Colorado River, Liz is a devoted
volleyball player
and snowboarder. On her vacations, if she isn’t diving into the
hot sand before a
turquoise ocean to reach a volleyball mid-air, she is most
likely traveling
around Iceland, sailing in Long Beach, swimming in the river
back home or just
playing volleyball inside! After graduation, Liz hopes to
practice
international law one day.
