Liz was born into a big, beautiful, and loud Ecuadorian-American family. She grew up in Clifton, New Jersey. Liz now adores the city of Houston. Houston proudly witnessed her graduate with a degree in Bilingual Education and joyfully watched her become a seasoned classroom teacher. Liz unexpectedly fell in love with a Pasadena-raised country-lovin’ boy who would become her husband and the father of their little boy. Now, Liz is unfolding, healing, and becoming through the art of storytelling and poetry.
