Not only that, but she also volunteers for three other non-profit organizations including Network to end hunger, Theatre Exceptional and NAMI Pasco. Eliza hopes to one day attend Duke University, entering into the medical program to pursue a career in therapy.

She loves helping others, giving back to her community and finding opportunities that allow her to prosper as an individual.
