Her work has been called "especially funny" (NY Times), "razor-sharp" (Washington Post), and "hilarious" (Times Herald-Record and the Catskill Chronicle); awards include 'Best Actress in a Sitcom' and 'Best Sitcom Screenplay' (Rome Web Awards), and nominations for the 'Raindance Discovery Award' (London), 'Best Lead Actor (Female) Award (Blackbird Film Fest), and 'Best Actress Award' (Miami Web Fest).

She has appeared onstage at venues such as Williamstown Theatre Festival, Lincoln Center, Ars Nova, Atlantic Theater, Inwood Shakespeare, and Signature Theatre. Her singing can be found on numerous albums, including the award-nominated Broadway Records Original Studio Cast Album of the musical Like You Like It. She will be featured in two upcoming Netflix projects, as well as the film June starring Aaron Kwok. Behind the scenes, Elisabeth produced the award-nominated short En Route; associate-produced NYCIFF 'Best TV Pilot' Award-winner The Grid; co-wrote and produced the short films Julie & Riley and Best Friends Forever; and produced, directed, and wrote song parodies for a cabaret at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, among other projects.
