She plays club volleyball for Zero Tolerance and is on the Union High School girls basketball team. She is also an excellent student.

Quotes from Union coach Nicolle Benincase: "Elise is a tremendous leader and the floor captain for us. Her energy is unmatched and she feeds her teammates bringing out the best of every player. Elise has something I as a coach just can't teach. True athleticism, grit, and a love for the game...and winning. Elise is always one of the hardest workers in the room, the first in the door and the last to leave "Coach let me get one more set" is one of her favorite lines when trying to perfect her powerful attack. Elise isn't just all power and volume, she's a smart player with killer instincts who we can always count on to get the job done. I look forward to the rest of this year and feel very lucky to get another one after this with her, she's a fun player to watch."
