    • Life Sciences

Elizabeth is the Senior Director of Community Impact & Policy and the Government Relations Director for the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association, as well as a Pomona College alumnus. In this episode we discuss where life took her after college, her many years working in various labs at Yale, staying true to herself while seeking opportunities after graduating, and what it’s like working with non-profits and corporate partners. We also talk about how she helped get In-N-Out to sell milk and why, how to get people to maintain long-term change, and the intersections between structural racism and health.
