Meet the stunning American model and realtor on a mission to help others less fortunate and give back to the world…
Tell us a bit about yourself, Elise.
I grew up in a very loving family with my parents still being married for almost 47 years and a brother 16 months older than me. I went to private school my whole life and my first job out of college was handling all the advertising for a magazine throughout South Florida. I then got my license to become a mortgage lender and realtor, which I’m doing now.
What would people be most surprised to know about you?
That I have a huge heart! Most people see me on the outside as this stunning, tall model, and, sadly, they always judge a book by its cover. I am truly such a people person and always try to do better for this world, whatever it might be. I always say to myself I need to do one nice thing a day for a person! Oh, I almost forgot to add I’m also a crazy cat lady – I have two now.
What is your best asset?
My height. Being six-feet tall makes me stand out in the crowd, and there is just something so sexy about being gifted this height. Outside of my physical looks, I have an amazing sense of humour – I love to make others laugh and I’m never scared to be silly and goofy. I also like to call myself a chameleon because I can get along with many different types of people, I always find something in common and make the best out of any situation.
What do you look for in a man?
Given my height, I need a tall man! I also need a man with family values, a sense of humour, confidence, integrity, strong work ethic, faithfulness and who is a great listener because I talk a lot!
Describe your ideal date.
Honestly, I love a good wine and pizza night in my sweatpants with no make-up, hair tied up in a messy bun and watching a funny movie. This is how men really get to know you.
What can we get you at the bar?
I don’t say no to any drink, but if I had to choose it would be an Espresso Martini with tequila or tequila with orange juice, because I love sugar.
What have you learned about men over the years?
I’ve learned that all men really do want to be loved. You just need to figure out their love language and sadly stroke their ego a little bit.
What’s one thing men should always know about women?
That we are badass amazing humans and should be treated with love and respect!
What is your motto in life?
Might as well be yourself because everyone else is already taken.
Where would you like to be in five years?
I want to grow my career in helping others, travel around the world and I also want to have four kids – so, I need to hurry up and find an amazing man!
