I post a lot about the above as well as gender and random professional topics (e.g., data work, product management).
DMs are open if you want to chat!
Gender dysphoria and imposter syndrome have been very real the past few months... So this weekend, I pushed myself to try to take some selfies with my old DSLR and see how that felt.
First of all, getting a proper self portrait without a tripod and just a fixed 35mm lens is a challenge.
But I think... I feel good about it?

Hey folks! It has been a minute, so time for an updated intro post.
I'm Elise! I'm a trans, lesbian woman, living in Atlanta, GA with my wife and our dog. I'm a big fan of reading — mainly nonfiction, sci-fi, and fantasy — and I've been working on getting back into photography.
Professionally, I'm a product manager in telecom, with a history in government and academia. I love working cross-functionally to build a complete picture of an opportunity. I recently started a (mostly) professional newsletter, which can be found here: https://eliseisoverthinkingit.beehiiv.com
You'll probably see me post photography or things about gender, professional topics, and any stupid joke I think of (tbh, jokes will likely be the bulk of my content lol).
Feel free to reach out!
