Prior to becoming  a religious Sister she was an athlete in the beautiful sport of figure skating. Sister Elizabeth's goal was to continue working hard and one day participate in the Olympics. It was also Sister Elizabeth's plans to enter aviation school to become a pilot. But God always works in mysterious ways. Sister Elizabeth was injured in her training, and God then called her to the Religious Life. She was 17 years old when Sister Elizabeth received the strong call to serve the Lord and His Church. 

​

After finishing high school, Sister Elizabeth joined her Religious Order for formation and preparation in all ways. In her own words, Sister Elizabeth says that "It is my great joy serving God through His wonderful people." For Sister Elizabeth the people of God are always in her very special prayers.
