About Elizabeth Amber
Elizabeth was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 4 months old and grew up in Alaska, Oregon, and Colorado. She is mostly self-educated and is passionate about lifelong learning, art, and writing. For the past two years, she has been involved with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, helping to plan many of the online conferences, such as BreatheCon. In 2018 Elizabeth started to host her own online book and writing groups for adults with CF to help her stay connected throughout the year to others in the community. Elizabeth has been married to her best friend Jamie, whom she has known since she was 4 years old, and they have two cats, Kairos and Pi. Currently, Jamie is working in Alaska most of the year, and Elizabeth is living in Seattle while she waits for a double lung and liver transplant. You can find more of her story on her blog (OrThisWay.Blog), Instagram (@CreamAndSalt), and Facebook (ElizabethsPeople).
