A place of work that is collaborative and supportive is very important to me, and that is why I chose to join the IPI family. Many opportunities for growth, guidance, and mentorship exist here, making it both a rewarding and fun place to work! The leadership here at IPI is always accessible which adds an additional element of confidence that we know where the company’s future is headed.

She spearheads the execution of tracking key performance indicators and makes recommendations based on those results. She conducts kick-off meetings for proposal and presentation efforts to ensure IPI’s deliverables are always meeting client expectations. She is also responsible for ensuring the company’s identity remains consistent throughout all marketing efforts. Liz also focuses on branding, social media, graphic design, and other efforts as needed.

OUTSIDE THE OFFICE:
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Tripp, and son, Henry. We go hiking and golfing, but really like going to the lake to spend the day or weekend. I also love a good workout or tennis match. Most weekends you can find me spending lots of time in the kitchen baking tomato pies!
