Liz Richman was born in Needham, Massachusetts to a computer programmer and a tech support specialist. She grew up doing musical theater with her older sister and began transitioning into film and television after an inspiring Bridgit Mendler performance at the Topsfield Fair. Clearly heavily influenced by Disney stars, Liz took up martial arts after watching Brenda Song in Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior (2006). She is now a 3rd degree black belt in Kung Fu and has more recently been training in fight choreography, weapons, and wire work. In her free time she enjoys hiking with friends, eating dessert, and making spreadsheets.
