Ellisa Brown is a Texas native and professional multitasker. As an innate storyteller, wordsmith, and results-driven cross-channel communicator, Ellisa continually pursues her purpose.

Ellisa’s current projects are as varied as they are exciting and impactful: In her role as the Founder of Civic Essentials Education Fund, Ellisa is committed to innovating traditional civic education by building a practical, engaging, and experience-based civics education curriculum.

In her “spare time,” Ellisa is also the author of Meet Cairo, the first in a series of books on her fun-loving, stubborn puppy Cairo. Join them on their adventures by following @cairothecocoyorkie on Instagram.

With her bachelor’s degree from Johns Hopkins University in Political Science and her master’s degree from Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris in Politics and Public Policy, it should be no surprise that Ellisa occasionally dabbles in the political scene.
