Getting to Know Elise 

What do you like most about your job?

I love the challenge of helping people with their financial needs, on a relationship rather than a transactional basis.  In addition, we have a dynamic team, not only in Aspen but across the bank, which raises our ability to deliver for the client.

If applicable, how does your involvement with the community fulfill you?

Whether reading with kindergartners, or helping with the local hockey program or hosting an exchange student, I have always found community involvement to be incredibly rewarding.

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Spending time or traveling with family, including my husband and 19-year-old twins.
