Lizzie Wilcox

Associate Editor, Meetings Group

I am the associate editor of Northstar Meetings Group. I earned my B.S. in Media Management and B.A. in French from the University of Miami and joined NMG in 2021 after three years at Coral Gables Magazine. Born and raised on Long Island, I returned to New York after seven years in Miami. Some of my favorite travel destinations are Paris (where I lived for five months), St. John, U.S.V.I., and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
