Elise is a freshman in high school who has been playing soccer since she was five years old and these days, you’ll find her playing right wing. As a freshman, she plays Varsity soccer (Fall) for her high school and competes in Girls Academy club soccer (Winter/Spring. 

 

She may not remember loving the sport at first, but she does remember the Sundays: pulling on her red Lower Merion Soccer Club jersey, rolling up her navy socks, and heading to practice with her dad. What started as a weekly routine became something meaningful, especially for her father, who grew up in Poland where girls didn’t often get the chance to play "football". Through soccer, Elise found a connection to his story and her own.

​

Born in the U.S. and raised in a Polish household, Elise is bilingual and deeply connected to her culture- specially in the kitchen. Cooking alongside her mom taught her that food is fuel, but also a way to explore the world. She loves making dishes from all over the globe, using seasonal ingredients and a health-first mindset.

​

Now, Elise is excited to share her favorite recipes, go-to supplements, and simple wellness tips, while continuing to grow both on and off the field.

 

For her, soccer and food are more than interests- they’re bridges between cultures, generations, and who she’s becoming.
