Elise Filter Von Arx Resume

BIO Born and raised in the Bay Area, I grew up fascinated by style, wellness, media, and the process of self discovery through these mediums. Garnering experience in some of the most progressive and art-driven cities, from London to Los Angeles, I cultivated a multifaceted world view that greatly influences my work. In my work, I have worn many hats, from luxury fashion, to private jewelry, to small business development, to assistant and administrative work. I am a team player who loves to get my hands dirty and hustle. I’m not afraid of hard work. In my next role, I hope to find a position that aligns with my strengths and is a positive work environment.
I recently relocated to Los Angeles to pursue the wonderful and expansive opportunities this city offers, hoping to transition into the PR, marketing, and content creation fields.
