Liz was lucky enough to be born in Greenville. Although her family were seasonal residents, Greenville was her happy place and she hoped to retire here. After earning a Bachelors degree in Business and completing postgraduate work to earn a teaching certificate, Liz joined the nonprofit Jobs for Maine’s Graduates. Eventually she was tapped to run an affiliate of the program in Denver. The experience was rich in life lessons, but she missed the lake, red hot dogs and mud season. Liz returned to Maine in 2012 with her two youngest sons and settled in to decide what her next steps would be. While she was deciding what she wanted to do when she grew up, the Executive Director position opened up at the Moosehead Marine Museum. A lifelong attachment to the Katahdin and the museum prompted her to apply for the job and the rest, as they say, is history. Since moving to Greenville, Liz has served on the Chamber board and the School Committee. She resides on Lily Bay Road with her dog, Finch. In her free time she enjoys skiing, kayaking, fishing, gardening and yelling at the squirrels to get out of her yard.
