"Live life to the fullest, take it day by day, smile even when it hurts... Try everything twice, have something to be passionate about."
Hello!! I'm Liz. I was born on a Friday in March 1981, in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. I lived there until I was 3 years old, when my family and I moved to Stellarton, Nova Scotia; where I call my home. I attended Stellarton Schools & was a member of the SHS Grads of 1999.
This is my grad photo : )I study History at the University of King's College in Halifax - I'm actually taking some time off - working for a bit to afford my ambitious plans. I would like to study Public Relations after my BA, and also work on becoming billingual.
I am a member of the Progressive Conservative Party, and I quite enjoy it!
I am active in the Nova Scotia Young Conservatives, and was recently elected Communications Director for the PC Youth Federation - our national youth wing. Political involvement is very rewarding, and I have met some terrific people through the past several years, travelling across the country.
With politics, I attend events and do all kinds of chaotic things. I have made so many interesting characters since becoming active in politics. Getting involved has given me excellent opportunities to work with talented people, and sometimes some not so stellar characters (makes for a tougher skin). It's beneficial, because I have new experiences to learn from.
If you are interested in politics, I can certainly lead you to people to contact. Send me an email, and I'll hook you up!
