Growing up as a military kid, Elizabeth was used to finding herself in unknown places. Feeling a rush of adventure every time she had an opportunity to explore the hidden corners of a new city, she began looking for even more ways to experience the exhilaration of stepping into another world. Whether it was a visit to Casa Bonita (if you know, you know), throwing an elaborate themed party, or working at an amusement park, Elizabeth couldn’t get enough.

When her passion for playing the viola landed Elizabeth in an opera pit orchestra, something clicked: here was an art form that had been doing immersive world-building long before it was a buzzword. Between the costumes, the drama, and the music so moving it could almost knock you over, she was officially hooked.

What followed was a decade of collecting the exact skills needed to bring those two worlds together. A Bachelor of Music degree, hot summers playing opera festivals in Italy, meticulous music studio scheduling, then a pivot into event production, brand design, and marketing strategy across art, real estate, travel, and tech in San Francisco. Currently, Elizabeth is completing an MBA in Performing Arts Management at the Institut d'études supérieures des arts in Paris while writing, directing, and producing Bluebeard's Nightmare, an immersive theater show premiering in October 2026.

Elizabeth’s next project is taking her to New York, where she is co-founding Another World Immersive Opera Company alongside her husband Ryan, a composer and technologist. They plan to make opera the hottest ticket in town again by creating the only experience where audience members explore and shape an opera from within. If Punchdrunk collided with the Met Opera, you’d get Another World.
