A major contributor to the success of Towson’s gymnastics program during her collegiate career from 2007-10, Alise had an immediate impact on the team.

Alise’s gymnastics journey began at age seven when she joined Docksiders Gymnastics and later continued at a higher level at Hills Angels Club, the club where Olympic medalists Dominique Dawes, Elise Ray and Courtney Kupets trained. Just prior to her collegiate career Alise, a Level 10 gymnast, qualified for nationals.

At Towson, Elise was a four-time ECAC individual champion. She captured the all-around and vault titles in 2010, and was the champion in the 2009 floor and 2008 vault. She was honored eight times as a First Team All-ECAC selection (4 vault, 2 all-around and 2 floor). She helped Towson to four straight ECAC team titles and a four-year meet record of 78-23. In addition, she was a three-time qualifier for the NCAA Southeast Regionals. Her career high 9.9 on the vault helped the Tigers win the 2007 USA Gymnastics Women’s Collegiate Championship. Towson also established the program record for team vault score, 49.150, at that meet. In her final meet as a Tiger Elise won the all-around and captured first place in the vault to lead the Tigers to a sixth consecutive ECAC championship.

An exercise science major, Elise pursued a career in health care, earning a certificate in Diagnostic Medical Sonography that led to a position as an ultrasound echocardiogram lab manager.
