Liz earned a BS in Marine Sciences from UCONN in 2009. After college, she began as a Northeast Fisheries Observer, and after a year in the NEFOP program moved in house as a Data Debriefer in 2011. She later transitioned to a Data Auditor role, a Project Manager role, and finally into the Data Quality Specialist role in April of 2021.
