Liza facilitated multiple support groups while at Mount Sinai for young adults, newly diagnosed patients, and patients looking for community throughout their journey. Additionally, Liza planned numerous events for patients to learn more about their diagnosis, the latest in treatment options, and ways to cope. Prior to her formal social work journey, Liza worked at the Ronald McDonald House of the Intermountain Area in Salt Lake City where she was the volunteer manager where she managed many volunteers and created programming to provide support and needed distraction for pediatric patients, caregivers, and siblings.
