ABOUT ME

Liz-2019-141.jpeg
Dr. Elizabeth MacLachlan

I am passionate about the power of higher education to transform lives.

 

After receiving a PhD in Anthropology, I joined the National University of  Singapore where I taught graduate and undergraduate students as a faculty member of the Japanese Studies Department for over 15 years. My inspiration in founding LizMac Consulting is to help young people reach their academic potential by choosing the college that is right for them. Originally from New Jersey, I have lived in Singapore for over 25 years and call it home.
