“I’m about 5’4” on a good day. Don’t ask me about my age.”

If asked to describe myself, I’d respond with fabulously complementary adjectives such as passionate, creative, relentless, resourceful, and daring.

But ask someone who knows me—truly knows me—and they will respond: “Elle thinks she’s funny, like comedic timing funny. It takes her more than a few tries to assemble something that requires a screwdriver because she refuses to look at the instructions. When navigating with both Waze and Maps, she STILL gets lost. Expect her to arrive at the destination at least fifteen minutes late. And if she has to choose between a beach or an adventure vacation, she’ll grab a backpack and some good hiking shoes.”
