who i am
about
Name: Ellie (Elisa)
Age: 33
I’m pretty average, but I have a few twists. I was active as a college student and operations manager when I ‘stroked out’ at age 24 in 2013. Now I focus on recovery 24/7, and art as well as my role of the Creative Director of a small gallery in Houston, TX. I’ve got a lot of hard work ahead of me, but I’ll get there.
