In 2018, Lizzie created a podcast and livestream, Emo Social Club, which continues to grow as a multi-media source of music content.

In 2021, Lizzie earned a Master’s in Journalism from DePaul, and was promoted to National Audio Production Coordinator for alt rock stations, including WNYL and KROQ. In 2022, she received another promotion and was named Managing Editor of Podcasts at WBBM-AM.
