Elsa Zuniga collects stories the way most people collect lint – in strange and unexpected places, often without even realizing it. This magnetic pull toward storytelling has shaped both her personal growth and narrative voice. It has also shaped her professional path as both a program manager in the tech industry and a professional coach, where storytelling enriches everything from guiding complex technical initiatives to supporting individuals in their growth journeys.After two decades of being inspired by and transformed through Northeast Storytelling, Elsa is excited to serve as its vice president. She looks forward to combining her professional expertise with her deep love of storytelling to help the organization thrive - preserving the magic that has touched so many while building sustainable foundations that will allow more people to discover the transformative power of stories.
