Elise A. Barish

Colorado

Elise has proudly supported the Melanoma Research Foundation since 2009 when her brother received a Courage Award at the MRF Gala in New York. She initiated the Denver Gala in 2012 and has been an active committee member since. While Elise appreciates Denver’s 300-plus days of sunshine and participates in many outdoor activities, she is generally a shade seeker. She enjoys her pale girl status and is passionate about educating others on trying to prevent melanoma through reduced UV exposure and regular skin checks. In addition to working with the MRF, Elise is actively involved in the Denver community. Prior to leaving the workforce to raise her four children, she worked as an Equity Analyst in Denver and New York. Elise earned her bachelor’s degree from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and her MBA from Columbia University.
