Before joining Barley Snyder, Elizabeth worked at the firm as a summer associate. She also interned with the University of Richmond’s Children’s Defense Clinic where she collaborated with Virginia’s Parole Board to update parole guidelines for juveniles, aligning them with recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions. Elizabeth received the Orell-Brown Award for Clinical Excellence in the Children’s Law Center upon graduation.

During law school, Elizabeth interned with a small firm in Richmond, Virginia where she discovered a zeal for cultivating strong attorney-client relationships. During the summers of her undergraduate years, she interned at her family’s Lancaster-based workers’ compensation law firm. Her passion for the law stemmed from a young age as Elizabeth’s father, mother and brother are all attorneys.

While not practicing law, Elizabeth enjoys exploring the restaurant scene in the Red Rose City, watching Premier League soccer and riding horses. She currently lives in downtown Lancaster with her husband.
