ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Liz is the co-founder and CEO of WayUp.

Liz and her co-founder JJ met at the University of Pennsylvania, where they worked on a Senior Year project that later inspired WayUp’s formation.

After graduating, they worked for two years at Google and McKinsey, but then — inspired by their Senior Year project — they left their jobs to create WayUp, which launched in August 2014.

Liz is proud to be helping thousands of college students find work experience that connects to their education.
