Elise was born and raised in northern New York and is thrilled to be SLAM’n in her home state. She holds a bachelor’s degree in biology, is an ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor, and is CPR/First Aid certified.

Elise discovered SLAM while pregnant with her second son and searching for connection and community. She found both—and more—during her two years SLAM’n in Dayton, Ohio. When her family received orders to West Point, NY, she was overjoyed to learn that a SLAM community was already there waiting.

Shortly after arriving at West Point, while 20 weeks pregnant with her third son, Elise received the devastating news that his condition was not compatible with life. Her son Oliver was born at 35 weeks, and she and her husband, Tyler, were blessed to spend two precious hours with him before he passed peacefully in her arms. Through this unimaginable loss, the SLAM community was by her side. Their unwavering support helped carry her through the darkest moments, and she credits SLAM with helping her regain both physical strength and emotional resilience. Inspired by Oliver’s memory, Elise found the courage to step into leadership as a SLAM co-owner when the opportunity arose.

She is passionate about creating a space where all moms feel supported, empowered, and seen—no matter what season of motherhood they’re in. Elise lives at West Point with Tyler and their two boys. She loves camping, hiking, reading, seasonal decorating, and connecting with friends over coffee or wine. Her favorite SLAM workouts are heavy leg days and EMOMs.
