Volunteer
Fort Fisher Aquarium: Time spent underwater is always time well spent! Miss Lizz loves presenting in the Dive Show at the local NC Aquarium.
Ocean Cure : This local non-profit is Miss. Lizz's favorite. Kevin Murphy and his crew enjoy nothing more than to share the healing experience of being the ocean.
SkyWatch Bird Rescue: SkyWatch is the only bird rescue in South-Eastern North Carolina. They rescue, rehab and release thousands of birds each year... yet another favorite activity of Miss Lizz's!
Mermaid
Rumor has it that Miss Lizz has spent so much time in the ocean that she is turning into a mermaid.
She's been spotted doing presentations, sharing her most favorite underwater encounters... and let's just say her "sea legs" looked more like a tail!
Miss Lizz loves being in her mermaid tail when talking to local audiences. Best of all, when she gets excited her tail wags!
Great for birthday parties!
