In 1992 she was hired by Midway to pose for their new fighting game called Mortal Kombat. Like most of the Mortal Kombat actors, she was hired after a Midway crew visited a local fitness center in search of trained martial artists to pose for their game.

After the success of MKII, Elizabeth felt that she deserved a share of the profits that Mortal Kombat's other formats had made, apparently nothing was stated about her likeness being used in more than just the arcade game - her likeness was also used in the background of "Khan's Arena" in Mortal Kombat II without being credited. In 1997 she filed a lawsuit together with fellow MK actors Phillip Ahn and Katalin Zamiar. The lawsuit was ruled in favor of Midway, stating that in Illinois, a claim for quantum meruit cannot succeed where there is a valid, enforceable agreement between the parties.

Elizabeth has stayed out of the spotlight for the most part, save for the lawsuit. It is also unknown whether she has been involved in any other media projects since the MKII suit. For years, Mortal Kombat related forums have tried tirelessly to find real images/photos of Elizabeth, but have never had any luck.
