ABOUT ME & MY WORK

ABOUT ME & MY WORK

🌈 Hi there! I’m Elise, an American writer & freelance editor.

I’ve always loved the combination of fascinating people, neat ideas, and emerging technology, and I’m lucky my work (both professional and personal!) lets me combine all three. Over the years, I've worked in digital media, journalism, branded content, edtech, and executive education, running projects and editorial work for Imperial College London, Cambridge Judge Business School, MIT Media Lab, and the University of Oxford.

I grew up in a small town in rural Minnesota (Red Wing, MN), but when I was eighteen, I moved across the world to Senegal with as a fellow with Global Citizen Year, where I taught English to a class of eighth graders and helped run the local English Club. Since then, I’ve lived on five continents and counting, worked with a wide range of technology, education, and fintech companies, and written about everything from financial inclusion to data and disinformation. Care to collaborate?

Topics I’d love to write about:

  • The rising cost of AI subscriptions

  • Island-states and digital worlds

  • Literacy in a world where no one “needs” to read

Curious about creating something together?

I typically set up small projects or discovery chats before taking on bigger work commitments. This lets us get to know each other and see if we’d be a good fit! If you need a service I don’t provide, I’ve also been lucky enough to work with some brilliant colleagues and freelancers over the years. I’d love to connect you with them if their expertise aligns with your idea or project.
