Liz brings a wealth of experience in nonprofit leadership, strategic planning, fundraising, and community engagement, and we are excited about the new chapter her leadership will bring to our organization.
With a proven track record in leading organizations through transformation, Liz has successfully grown programs, cultivated strong partnerships, and increased organizational impact. At Multiplying Good, she expanded the Students In Action program from 125 to 1,600 students across 35 schools, creating partnerships with Chicago Public Schools and other local organizations. Additionally, Liz led Sharing Notes through the challenges of the pandemic, doubling hospital partnerships and transitioning live performances to virtual bedside concerts all while increasing the budget 49% at a time when budgets were shrinking.
Liz is committed to advancing our mission and strengthening the BDAI community through program growth, donor engagement, and fostering connections with families and individuals impacted by bleeding disorders all across Illinois, and she is very excited to meet everyone!

I was a nurse for 39 years. My nursing career started at the University of Illinois Hospital where I worked for 31 years in the pediatric department. I retired in December 2011 and started at Rush University Medical Center-Hemophilia Treatment Center in January 2012. I resigned from Rush HTC in August 2018 to care for my first grandchild. I am still very involved with the bleeding disorder community and I am enjoying my time as the consultant for the Hispanic group through the Bleeding Disorder Alliance Illinois. I am also on the nurse speaker bureau for the National Hemophilia Foundation.
