Elissa is an entertainer and she has been ever since she was little, one who will rock your event with her vivacious, fun-loving, and engaging personality.

With roots in South Bend, Indiana she knows the value of hard work, family, and friends. Elissa's love for people and a lively social life led her to California to pursue a career in entertainment. She worked with The Young Americans (who tour the world, putting on workshops to teach kids about performing arts), where her love for the stage began to grow. Wanting to build on what she experienced and expand her knowledge of dance, she began training in ballroom, where she competed in international Latin dance. Shortly after, she was hired as a dancer/emcee with Coyote Ugly in Las Vegas in 2005.

With all the opportunities that Las Vegas has to offer, Elissa quickly became one of the most sought after emcees in the city. She's emcee'd at some of the worlds biggest night clubs including Tao, Marquee, Hakkasan, Chateau, Coyote Ugly, and Olympic Gardens. Additionally, she's been host for some of the most popular bikini contests with celebrity judges like the "Bikini Invitational' at Rehab inside Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and "Hot 100" at Wet Republic at the MGM, which include over 100,000 dollars in cash and prizes.

Expanding from the stage to tv and film, Elissa was cast in the second season of VH1's reality show, Dating Naked, She also appeared in the highly rated feature film "All Out Dysfunktion' as a featured role. Most recently she was hired as Production Coordinator for the 2017 feature film 'In Stranger Company' starring Danny Trejo.

You may hear her on the microphone, on the radio, singing in the shower (depending on how close you are to her), see her beaming face on a print ad, on the red carpet, or as the star of an upcoming reality show...but no matter which way it is, she's a face and a voice you'll never forget.

Elissa loves to make you laugh, make you uncomfortable, or make her cat uncomfortable. Just don't ask her about the scars...Lilly's not declawed. That bitch is just as crazy as she is.
