Liz and her husband, Tom Will, lead the Youth Group at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church in Madison.

Liz fell in love with Grymes Memorial School and the faculty the first time she visited. During the pursuit of her master’s degree in Library Science, she had the opportunity to take a few courses on children's literature as well as storytelling and programming for youth. During her visit to Grymes she noted the incredible collaboration among the staff . She wanted to be a part of the “team,” nurturing the students’ desire to learn. Liz has always enjoyed working with children and feels that she has been led to this special place to better use her talents.
