Born Elizabeth Jane Harper, she was brought up in North Ockendon in Havering. She attended Coopers’ Company and Coborn School in Cranham from 1989-96. According to her mother, as a girl Harper “was always into human rights and the environment and delivered a petition on animal rights to Parliament when she was just 14.” After leaving school she went to Agra, India to volunteer at one of Mother Teresa’s homes for India’s poorest children.

After leaving Tanzania, she volunteered with a British Red Cross refugee unit, earned a certificate in Peace Studies from Coventry University and was employed as a fund-raiser for a seafarer’s charity in London. Her volunteer work often brought her to the Forum for Stable Currencies at the House of Lords.

At that time, she heard financial analyst Stephen Zarlenga speak about monetary reform. She was impressed and was soon hired to become Zarlenga’s assistant at the Chicago-based American Monetary Institute.

Kucinich is currently the director of public affairs for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

In the course of her work with Zarlenga, she met Dennis Kucinich, who proposed to her during their second meeting and they married in 2005 in his native Cleveland, Ohio.
