Hi, I’m Elise Marie Leise.

I’m a U.S.-based writer working across global time zones, with experience in both the United States and the UK, alongside international projects.

Much of my perspective has been shaped by time spent traveling and working across regions including West Africa, East Asia, and South Asia. These experiences have informed my interest in expanding access to education, capital, and opportunity, and continue to shape the way I approach my work.

I studied cybersecurity and the liberal arts at Georgetown, and writing at Middlebury, and I’m particularly drawn to projects at the intersection of technology, policy, and global systems.

Outside of work, one of my favorite experiences has been hiking Mt. Fuji and watching the sun rise.
