What chore do you absolutely hate doing?
Any time I have to clean up after other people I turn into a Grumpasaurus Rex.
What has been your proudest moment at Hey Now!?
Every time Matt and Anne use the phrase “absolutely phenomenal” to describe something I did. It’s only happened once so far but I’m keeping track.

I would be a burrito because you are what you eat.
Do you have a nickname?
My immediate family calls me Lissy because little kids can’t pronounce my name for some reason and they all just grew up that way. But it’s weird when people outside my family call me that so please just call me Elissa or the situation will become incredibly uncomfortable for both of us.

Anything I do before I’ve had coffee.
