Liz's favorite song is "I'm walking on sunshine" and it is true she can light up a room!  As the interest and needs of the residents change Liz is contantly stretching to adapt activities and create new and challenging events.  Her presence is a bright part of the day and her sensitivity to individual needs unparallel.  Liz came to John Bertram House in the spring of 2011 after a career in the cooporate world and her own experience being a family caregiver.
