She studied at Melbourne University and after graduation from there in the early 1980s she became a flying doctor. She enjoyed working with children most of all, that’s why in 1997 she changed her specialty for a pediatrician. Elizabeth achieved impressive results in that area. She explored various childhood illnesses, including such difficult health disorders as autism, ADHD, and others.
