This young Puerto Rican launched Mi tabla de salvación in the spring of 2020, quickly gaining great popularity. This first book is a trilogy that tells the story of Pamela and her search for love—a single mother who realizes she needs real change in her life. One afternoon, she goes paddleboarding at the beach and has a surprising encounter with Jesus that changes everything. Following the overwhelming reception of this title, the author released the English version that same year titled My Board of Salvation, which went on to win an award for Best Christian Fiction Book in 2021.

Elsa also published, together with her husband, a bilingual devotional called 90 Days for Your Marriage. The book features Spanish on the left-hand side and English on the right. Through this resource, they minister to couples and speak at international conferences on the topic of marriage. Together, they lead the ministry Salt and Light Mission, where they love serving their community through teaching and organizing evangelistic events.

In her publication titled Publica tu libro con éxito, she seeks to help those who dream of publishing but don’t know where to begin. The author shares marketing advice for writers and the ABCs every author should know. She recently released two books under her registered brand Mujer Sana: El diario de una mujer sana and the prayer journal En mi lugar secreto, both of which emphasize the importance of devotional time with God.

She is a wife, mother, author, speaker, and entrepreneur. She resides in Central Florida and loves to serve the Latino community in the United States and around the world.
