With more than a decade of formal experience in cultural journalism and editorial strategy, Liz is radically fluent in aesthetic observation and conceptual narrative. 

Originally from Chicago, she's settled in Los Angeles, where she moved from Brooklyn to spearhead VICE's first West Coast Editorial office.

When not on a project, she's writing under her own byline for national publications and screen. She also occasionally plays the sax.
