After earning her B.A. in Psychology from UCLA, Elise embarked on an eclectic career odyssey ranging from office manager for an orthodontic practice to auto repair technician for a Chrysler dealership. Having finally had her fill of elastics and gaskets, Elise decided to join her family in opening and operating a virtual reality arcade on The BLVD in Lancaster, California, while substitute teaching at 3 local elementary school districts. Elise was subsequently elected President of The BLVD Association Board of Directors, where she had the good fortune of working with Corey Heimlich, fellow BLVD Board member and Vice President of HCA. When the pandemic essentially closed the doors of her “non-essential” VR arcade, another set of doors opened, and Elise found her home with HCA in 2022.
As Development Manager, Elise is responsible for coordinating with developer partners in preparation for financing applications and new deal and acquisition closings for affordable housing projects. She also manages the tracking and reviewing of various agreements, covenants and regulatory restrictions, actively monitors construction progress through completion, and oversees property financial reporting.
Elise’s favorite pastimes include obsessing over Things-Nobody-Will-Ever-Actually-See when working on home improvement projects with her BF&H (best friend and husband), supportively consoling her BF&H after she clobbers him at HORSE on the backyard basketball court, and spending quality time with friends and family.
