In her free time, Elisheva spends time outdoors with her husband, Kurt Sundell, a geology professor at Idaho State University. They like looking at rocks and enjoying the splendor of the Idaho landscape. When not working on behalf of clients or outside she is working on home improvement projects at their new home.
