Hi, I’m Elise and I’ve been a member of the Junior Board since 2019. I joined the Junior Board because a close friend of mine had been involved for years. I had attended the Blue Party a few times with him and was very impressed with the work being done. At that stage in my life, I had wanted to get more consistently involved in volunteering and this was the perfect opportunity. I held the position of Treasurer for 2 years which was also very rewarding to be part of the executive committee.

A little about my professional career- I have been in the fashion industry for 14 years with experience managing buying, planning and merchandising strategies for a variety of product categories and brands. I am currently the Director of the DTC channel at Loeffler Randall, a lifestyle brand, where I oversee our site, retail stores, product merchandising for all categories, pricing and buying of inventory. Prior, I’ve managed apparel, jewelry, handbags, accessories and footwear at multiple brands namely Tory Burch, Ring Concierge, DKNY, and Sam Edelman. I’m entrepreneurial, equal parts analytical & creative and am passionate about growing brands. I graduated from Lehigh University business school undergrad in 2011 with a degree in marketing & minor in psychology.

In my spare time, you can find me with my husband Greg (who is also part of the Junior Board!), our 3-year old son Drew and our 2^nd on the way. We live in Long Island City and love exploring urban life with friends while also getting time in nature, traveling to new places, reading, cooking, and sports.
