Liz Austin holds a master's degree in Linguistics and Adult Education and is a certified mindfulness practitioner and bird communication researcher. Over a 20-year career designing curriculum for global organizations — including Disney, the Olympics, and University College London — she developed a deep understanding of how adults learn, connect, and find meaning through well-crafted facilitated experiences. 

Through her Tails Talk birding platform and YouTube channel, she brings together her training in linguistics, music, mindful engagement, and bird communication to create programs that are thoroughly researched and built from a genuine love of birds and the natural world.
