Fúm/About Me

Hi there! I’m Elizabeth (Lizzie for short). I’m 33 years old and was born and raised in Oklahoma, where I still live. I work at the state’s largest hospital as an operating room nurse, but devote a considerable amount of time to performing stand up comedy as well. I danced ballet for 17 years, and have the privilege to now teach adult classes each week. I’m the proud mother of 3 Sphynx cats – Buster, Binki, and Suvi (my no fur children). On my mother’s side of the family I’m German Jewish, and Scots/Irish on my father’s side. I’ve always felt a deep connection to Ireland and have been lucky enough to visit twice, first when I was 13 and again at 26 when I spent two weeks traveling solo across the gorgeous country. I plan to go back many more times, and would love to become more familiar with the language to deepen the strong connection I have with the country, its people, and culture. Very excited to start learning!
