Elizabeth Poundstone

"Chi O is a place of unconditional love. Since the day I went Chi O, these women have accepted me for who I am and love me for that. I would have never imagined that I would have a group of women who I can count on at all times. Every single one of these girls lead me to the Lord daily and I am forever thankful for them."
- Elizabeth Poundstone

About Elizabeth (submitted by Leighton):
Elizabeth is the most intentional gal I have ever known. I feel like the word "intentional" gets thrown around a lot, but she is the real deal. Elizabeth (aka Liz) gets genuinely excited about other people's lives and invests in them with everything she has. I will never forget going home with her for the first time and feeling instantly at home. Her family is the kind, southern type that you love automatically. I wouldn't trade our late night, deep, Jesus talks on the treadmill at the rec for anything. Because of Liz, I have seen how faithful the Lord is by giving me the "sister-like" friendships every girl needs. She is my go-to girl that I couldn't love more!

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
If I could live anywhere in the world, I would live in London. Even though I have never been, I have always been obsessed with the Royal Family. From the pictures I have seen, the city looks fun and exciting. And who doesn't love a British accent?

What accomplishment are you most proud of and why?
The accomplishment I am most proud of is when I biked 109 miles to the coast of California. I went to Trac II at JH Ranch junior year of high school. Going into that week, I would have never been able to bike that far, but with the Lord's help, a lot of praying and the encouragement of others, I was able to accomplish something that initially seemed impossible.

What is your dream job?
My dream job is to work in Children's Hospital and to be able to counsel the children and their families through the difficult times they are going through.

What is the most adventurous thing you've ever done?
The most adventurous thing I have ever done was going to Paris my senior year. Twelve people from my high school and I traveled to Paris for two weeks. Eating great food, seeing too many sights and going to the top of the Eiffel Tower made for the two greatest weeks of my life.
