Biosketch: Elise (also known as Murph!) is so excited to work at Sierra Camp this summer and live at beautiful Fallen Leaf Lake. She loves building relationships, mentoring children, and bringing a positive attitude and way too much energy to everything she does.

At Stanford, Elise is living out her childhood dream of playing Division I lacrosse in the highly competitive ACC. Getting to work hard every day alongside her closest friends while building grit and leadership is incredibly meaningful to her, and she is so grateful for the sport.

As a student, Elise studies product design and is really interested in the intersection of products and psychology. She’s especially curious about human-computer interaction and how digital apps and services can influence people at scale. She loves working with real users and turning ideas into tangible, hands-on solutions.

Elise loves sushi and steak, and can usually be found working out, reading a fun fantasy book, making a new craft or talking way too fast with her friends.
