About Elle

I'm a certified dating coach who works with clients who want to not only date "smarter" but also have more fun along the way. I received my B.S. and M.S. in Management Science & Engineering from Stanford University, and combine that with nearly 10 years of experience in hospitality for an approach that's both deeply strategic and informed by my intuitive understanding of people. Love might be something that human beings can do innately, but dating is a skill that is learned (and can be taught). Most of us were never given an education on how to date and relate effectively, and can feel adrift when it comes to finding and maintaining some of the most important relationships of our lives. I spent years "in the trenches" myself, struggling through loneliness, bad dates, ghosting, heartbreak, and my own missteps. I also realized I wasn't alone--nearly all of my peers, no matter how attractive or accomplished, were struggling right alongside me in their own private ways. I dedicated myself to learning to date more effectively, and along the way actually learned to enjoy the process of meeting new people. I later became certified as a dating coach, and feel immensely privileged to be able to help others find their own way. Although I'm now happily married, I've never stopped loving helping other people connect.
