Elisa is a Los Angeles native who started volunteering with the Dear Jack Foundation (DJF) via their partnership with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s annual Light The Night (LTN) Walks in 2006.

She currently serves as National Co-Captain with Mao Shiokura of the LTN DJF Teams. Elisa is a University of Southern California alumna and a Girl Scout Gold Award (equivalent to the Eagle Scout Award) recipient. Other organizations that Elisa enjoys volunteering with include The Pablove Foundation, VH1 Save The Music Foundation, and Share Our Strength.

She enjoys witnessing firsthand the outpouring of generosity and support for the AYA cancer community and building camaraderie among Andrew’s fans and friends. And, in Elisa’s spare time, she can be found in the kitchen baking the most delicious cookies anyone has ever tasted.
