After 4 years as Game On!’s Illinois Director of Business Development, Elyssa branched out to open Game On! Sports 4 Girls Northern Utah in 2022.

Elyssa comes to Game On! from the professional sports world where she managed all sponsorship accounts for the Philadelphia 76ers. Originally from New Hampshire, she has moved to Chicago to pursue her true passion in helping girls be GirlStrong through the power of sports!

Elyssa was always eager to learn everything and play every sport she could get her hands on from soccer to jiujitsu. Her small hometown was only able to offer a few of these opportunities, but it didn’t stop her from finding new ways to learn how to play every sport. She can’t wait to bring her passion and drive to Game On! and bring everything to young girls in one place!

Elyssa attended the University of Vermont where she played Division I club soccer, joined the fencing club, and played intramural broomball and tennis. She was also a part of her Class Council and Inter-Residence Association.

In her spare time Elyssa still loves to play soccer, go snowboarding all over the country, and curl up with a good book. She is always excited to see something new!
