Elizabeth moved to Durham, North Carolina to attend law school at North Carolina Central University School of Law. She graduated with her Juris Doctorate in 2000 and has been practicing criminal law since 2001.
Elizabeth has been in public service since 2007, when she started work at the Durham County public defender’s office. She worked there for 13 years as an assistant public defender, representing indigent citizens of Durham charged with crimes. For the last four years, Elizabeth has been an assistant district attorney for Durham’s 16th Prosecutorial District. She started prosecuting violent crimes and homicides and is now leading the drug and property crime team which consists of three attorneys and two legal assistants.
