About me

Hi, I’m Elise!

I use she/her pronouns. I live in Pittsburgh, PA with my spouse, Samarth, and our Muppet-like dogs, Barry and Edie. We moved to Pittsburgh from Brooklyn, NY in 2022 after spending eight years in the NYC area.

Some of my favorite ways to spend my free time are reading and taking neighborhood walks. I love having a creative outlet, and enjoy making pottery as a hobby.

I serve on the Board of Directors of Assemble, a community space for arts and technology in Pittsburgh. (Check out Assemble’s awesome work!) I also volunteer as a career coach and mentor.
