    "I have been a contractor for many large brands for the past 17 years, and during that time, I have worked with many strategy and social impact consultants to service my client. I can confidently say that working with Elizabeth at the Digital Equity Accelerator housed at the Aspen Institute has been a joy! She is extremely innovative, adaptive, organized and a great collaborator. As a young project, Elizabeth was able to come in with little direction and little infrastructure to build a brand that we are proud of."
