Since I can remember I have always been interested in telling stories: in photography, in film, in writing, in advertising, or even at the dinner table with my family. In the future I want to do just that.

I have a love for production and filmmaking, a passion for inventive strategy, a strong work ethic and most importantly an eagerness to learn new things.

At the University of Kansas, I am involved in The National Student Advertising Competition and The Agency (student ad organization) on campus. Outside of campus, I am involved in my sorority handling an executive position and I volunteer at the Lawrence Humane Society. You could also find me at a coffee shop on Massachusetts Street or at Allen Fieldhouse watching a KU basketball game.

Hi there, I'm Elise.

My official major is: Digital Marketing Communications, Advertising, and Public Relations & Media Arts and Production;

with a minor in business. In short - I'm studying creative advertising.

I come from a family of farmers and teachers. I grew up around people who were dedicated to hard work and lifelong learning. These are two things I do every day.

When I’m not in school, I love to travel. I find it fascinating to learn about other cultures and fully immerse myself in them. Some of my favorite trips have been to Italy, New York, and Paris.
