Elise Brueske was born in Drammen, Norway, and spent her formative years on the eastside of Seattle, where she currently resides with her husband Alex, their two children, Jack and Scottie, and their two dogs. She finds joy in sunshine, staying active, and live music. Elise earned her BA in Global Health from Pacific Lutheran University, where she played on the Women’s soccer team for two years and was a member of the University’s A capella group, HERmonic.

With a background in executive marketing and extensive experience organizing high-touch “C-Suite” executive and partner events for corporations such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, and Expedia, Elise transitioned from the corporate world to focus on raising her young children. She now contributes her talents to the non-profit sector and serves as the committee chair and organizer of the Annual Birdies for Brock Charity Golf Tournament.

Elise embraces the philosophy that “the meaning of life is to find your gift, and the purpose of life is to give it away.” She is excited about her involvement with the Melodic Caring Project, where she contributes to advancing their purpose-driven mission.
