I\'m Elle, a Talent Manager at Whalar; a highly-decorated leading creator commerce company that enables creators, brands, and the world’s leading social platforms to work better together to drive business growth for all.

I work to provide the best representation for my clients possible, ensuring they are set up to receive the same access to opportunities as others. During my time as a Talent Manager, I have placed my clients in dozens of projects with companies, brands, and studios such as Nike, JC Penney, HBO, Lego, CVS, Lionsgate, Revlon, Foreo, Lenovo, Samsung, and many more.
