Liz Cortese

Marketing & Communications Manager

Liz is a proud Midwesterner, born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, before packing her bags and heading west. For the past decade, she has called the San Francisco Bay Area home. Born into a family of avid travelers, Liz was fortunate to experience firsthand the transformative impact that access to travel can have at an early age. Through these authentic adventures, she developed a deep curiosity for exploring cultures, histories, and perspectives different from her own, as well as uncovering what connects humanity on a deeper, more profound level.

As the Marketing and Communications Manager at Global Glimpse, Liz brings extensive expertise in the student travel industry, leveraging powerful storytelling to craft impactful marketing strategies that drive measurable growth across digital marketing, partnerships, and branding initiatives.

When she’s not working from her laptop at a local coffee shop, you can find Liz walking her Bernedoodle, Leia, reading the latest bestseller, or boarding a plane for her next adventure with her husband, John, and son, Oliver.
