Liz has over ten years experience as a television, film and event producer, creating compelling stories for TLC and ABC Family, and connecting filmmakers with resources for the HBO Comedy Festival. Liz has since pursued her love of photography, and has collaborated with her husband on projects since 2009. Liz's work is in the collection of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, has been shown at Foley Gallery in New York, and her portraits of musicians Ben Harper and the band Wilco have been published in the Fretboard Journal. In 2011, Liz took a year-long trip to 13 countries over four continents, where she was inspired by hardworking and enterprising people everywhere, especially women. During that trip, Liz and her husband created over 30,000 images and a series of photos and video from transportation - from a bamboo train in Cambodia to a desert Jeep in Egypt. Liz earned a degree in Economics from the University of Colorado, and is excited to apply that background and learn firsthand about the impact of microfinance. As a Kiva Media Fellow, she is thrilled to document Kiva success stories in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, where she will be discovering the people of Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia for the first time.
