She began her career in publishing as a reporter for the educational department of the newspaper, but quickly moved up to editor of political news in the metropolitan bureau of the publication. In April 1974, she joined the staff of the Wall Street Journal. For the next four years, Elliott covered regulatory issues, agriculture, and the energy sector. 1978-1983 she focused on the international agenda.

In parallel, since 1989, she has held the position of Vice President for International Affairs at Dow Jones & Company, the publisher of the Wall Street Journal, for about six years.

In 1995, Abraham Lowenthal, the founding president of the Pacific Council on International Policy, asked Elliott to join the leadership of the organization[8]. In addition, she has repeatedly acted as an expert on international relations for the TV channels PBS, FOX, CNN and CNBC.[9]

In 2020, she participated in the writing of the book "The Kingdom of Sand and Cement: the Changing Cultural Landscape of Saudi Arabia." By that time, Elliott was a senior researcher at the Belfer Center at Harvard Kennedy School.[11] Personal life
