Liz Levine

Liz was born across the river in New Brunswick, NJ and grew up in East Brunswick, NJ.  She loves college sports and enjoys meeting new people, so she chose to attend the University of Florida as an out-of-state Gator. During her time at UF, she served as President of the National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society, President of the Springs Area Residential Council, House President for Keys Governing Body and was UF’s Communications Chair for Sports Illustrated on Campus.  Liz graduated from UF with a B.S. in Public Relations from the College of Journalism and Communications and a B.A. in Spanish linguistics from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

After graduating from UF, Liz moved back to the tristate area and completed a master’s degree in public relations as well as a master’s degree in journalism.  She has been working for CBS Television since 2008, and she will tell you that the many hours she logs watching television are simply for work research, but that’s probably not true. She believes that other than love of the Gators, there is no love greater than the love of food.  She doesn’t eat to live; she lives to eat – and it doesn’t hurt that she dabbles in baking.  She once ate 35 blueberry pancakes in under 10 minutes in an eating contest, and she can eat a hot dog in under 5 seconds.

Liz watches more athletic events than any human being probably should, but she takes pride in her love of sports, and she will go to extreme lengths to watch the Gators compete – even if that means traveling across the U.S. or to another country to support her alma mater.  You’ll often spot Liz cheering on the Gators at one of the Gotham Gators' partner bars, and within seconds of meeting her, you’ll see she is a die-hard, passionate Gator sports fan.

Liz joined the Gotham Gators executive board in 2015 and served as the Vice President of Communications from July 2015 to June 2024. From November 2019 to June 2024, she was also a director on the UF Association of Hispanic Alumni board. As national chair of the regional events committee for UF-AHA, Liz founded the Hispanic Heritage Huddle in 2021, and she was thrilled when the 2022 event won the UF Alumni Association’s inaugural Collaboration Award. Liz also served as President-Elect for the Gotham Gators from July 2022 to June 2024. She’s incredibly proud to have been named the 2022-23 UF Alumni Leader of the Year.
