Prior to her arrival at Northwestern in 2013, Elliott served as the director of advising and first-year programs—as well as senior lecturer in Christian ethics—at Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania, for 10 years, where she co-chaired the committee that developed Eastern’s new general education curriculum and played a leading role in co-curricular initiatives such as service-learning, first-year programming and learning communities.

A 1997 graduate of Northwestern, Elliott earned a Master of Theological Studies degree with a concentration in Christian ethics from Duke Divinity School in 2001. She has been published in Christianity Today and The New York Times and is a member of the Association of Christians in Student Development.
