As a relocated Midwesterner and Sconnie turned Sarasotan, Liz now lives on the Phillippi Creek with her family and the world’s greatest dog.

She appreciates Florida in a way the native-borns cannot – refusing to become blasé to Sarasota's natural wonders and surroundings. Every dolphin, every Siesta sunset, every shark tooth is worth stopping to admire. 

Her beat includes family-friendly activities, outdoor adventures, wildlife and fun on the water.
