She's based in Durham, North Carolina and is a 2017 graduate of American University in Washington D.C. She worked for some prominent newsrooms prior to her current job, including The New York Times, The Atlantic, and The Daily Beast.

Elisha talked about those jobs and her current work. She gave examples of the type of stories she covers and explained the other things that go into producing the newsletter. She shared how the coverage of this issue goes well beyond just covering abortion.
