Elizabeth was selected amongst 12 emerging composers to participate in the inaugural cohort of VIFF amp's Composer Filmmaker Accelerator. Curated by three-time Emmy nominated, award-winning film and television composer Miriam Cutler, the program pairs each composer with an established filmmaker who will collaborate to create 12 original pieces of music for film. The musical pieces created will be recorded and performed by musicians from the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra in a premiere showcase on October 7th 2023.

In 2018, Elizabeth partnered with the innovative non-profit, Emily’s Entourage, to turn her debut single into a fundraising and awareness campaign to fight rare mutations of Cystic Fibrosis. The song, “Anyway” is performed by two-time Tony nominee Laura Osnes (Grease, Cinderella, Bandstand), Gideon Glick (Spring Awakening, Significant Other), Christy Altomare (Mamma Mia, Anastasia), Javier Muñoz (In The Heights, Hamilton) and Sarah Levy (Netflix’s Schitt’s Creek).
