It seems everyone finds it difficult to describe themselves. After all, we don’t create experiences alone, we create them through connection with each other. So I asked some of my friends to describe me, and they said: I am exceedingly warm, have a gorgeous smile, am a great listener and conversationalist, and have a specific ease at creating connections with others.

I have spent most of my work life in elementary education and mental health advocacy, which are both causes near and dear to my heart. I nerd out on ted radio hour and this american life (basic, I know ;). I laugh easily, give too much eye contact almost all of the time, and am unequivocally the most affectionate person I know.

If you are interested in knowing a little more about me, here is something I wrote to give you a little glimpse into who I am:

My idea of utopia is a perfectly hot bath, smelling of lavender and roses. A book that takes you to another world. A perfect cup of coffee. A vacation that makes you think differently about the world around you, and fills you with a new hope for humankind. Kindness. Touch. Connection, if only for a moment. Walking through trees in golden gate park at dusk, the shadows falling in a way which reminds me of something comforting and foreign at the same time. A perfect sunset at dusk across a beautiful ocean.

I’m looking forward to the opportunity of meeting you <3

xoxo,
Elise
