Elizabeth teaches immigration law and directs an immigration clinic at the University of Baltimore School of Law, where she is an associate professor. For more than a decade, she has represented immigrants facing deportation, especially those with asylum claims or those who have been victims of trafficking, domestic violence, or other serious crimes. She is immediate past-President of the Maryland Immigrant Rights Coalition and is an active volunteer with numerous non-profit organizations in Maryland. She very occasionally tweets @LizKeyesTkPk, mostly in the as yet unmet hopes of having a tweet liked by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
