Elisa Love is a native of Grand Junction. She boasts an impressive career spanning over a decade in marketing, networking, and development. Her journey includes a remarkable 20-year tenure at KKCO and KJCT, where she held diverse roles from Morning Show Producer to Local/Digital Sales Manager. Her work was recognized with two Colorado Broadcaster Association Awards for producing the Best Small Market Public Affairs Programs in 2022 and 2023.

Elisa has been married to Kevin for over ten years. Together, they have two very spoiled pups named Dax and Bella. She is an avid reader and can often be found sitting on a patio with her head in a book.
Elisa's roots are deeply intertwined with Grand Junction. As a descendant of one of the first Black families to settle in the Grand Valley, her family's history is a part of the community's rich tapestry. Her grandmother, Josephine Taylor Dickey, was a revered figure in Grand Junction, leaving behind a legacy of service and community engagement that continues to inspire Elisa today.
Elisa's upbringing was marked by the profound impact of her grandmother's unwavering dedication to improving Grand Junction. This powerful influence has ignited a deep-seated desire within Elisa to follow in her footsteps and uphold her family's legacy of service. This commitment continues to inspire her today.
While Elisa is not a painter or sculptor, she finds joy in interior design, crafting personal, warm, and inviting spaces. She is a home chef whose culinary skills are also a testament to her creativity. She loves experimenting with cooking and creating delicious meals for her loved ones.
Elisa sees the Grand Valley Creative Alliance as the perfect avenue to channel her creativity and make a significant, meaningful impact.
