Her career began at Sky News in Canberra where she produced the award winning '2007 Election Agenda' programs.

Elysse moved to the ABC as a rural reporter in 2009 and was based in Port Pirie, where she won several awards for her coverage of devastating drought as well as the fallout of the GFC and then subsequent mining boom on rural and regional communities. Elysse then took the opportunity to move to the NSW Rural team where she hosted the statewide Country Hour program where she earned a reputation for tough interviews.

Elysse' specialist business, finance and economics knowledge saw her offered a role on the ABC's Australia Network Business Today program as a reporter and producer and became the executive producer before moving the ABC's business desk where she reported for leading current affairs programs including AM, PM, 730 and The Business.
