Her entrepreneurial journey began in 2014 with the founding of lifestyle and performance brands, including Hashtag Board Co., The HashLife Company, and RU3 Performance.
She later expanded into entertainment and digital talent management, building MELT into a globally focused agency supporting music artists, gaming creators, and social media talent with multimillion-strong audiences.
She has collaborated on initiatives such as Happy Health and SULT Agency, a music meta-label concept, while supporting mentorship and youth-focused creative programs.
For The Trueness Project, this appointment signals a strategic move into deeper global partnerships that connect and leverage creativity, youth development, storytelling, and technology as tools for transformation.
Speaking on the appointment, M. Teresa Lawrence, President and Executive Director of The Trueness Project, shared:
“Elle’s journey reflects the kind of bridge-building we believe in at The Trueness Project. She understands creators, technology, young people, and the power of platforms.
As we expand our work in leadership, book-writing and book donation initiatives, digital literacy, and sports initiatives like Flag Football, her insight into how communities grow through creative and digital ecosystems is a gem.
This is a major step for us as we position The Trueness Project as a partner of choice for global investors, collaborators, and change makers who believe in practical transformation.”
Her presence on the board is expected to strengthen The Trueness Project’s capacity to form strategic partnerships across creative industries, technology sectors, and international networks that align with its mission of empowering people and communities worldwide.

Elle’s experience in scaling platforms, building audiences, and unlocking value through community-driven ecosystems adds a powerful dimension to the organization’s governance and strategic direction.
Elle also expressed her enthusiasm about joining the board:
“The Trueness Project is doing work that is both deeply human and forward-thinking. It is grounded in education, leadership, and opportunity, yet open to new ways of reaching young people through creativity, sport, and storytelling.
I am honored to join the Board of a nonprofit that believes in building systems that give youth real access to essential tools, mentorship, and platforms that can change the trajectory of their lives.”
