You think you know me? Let’s find out…
The basics…
Born and raised in California, Elena has achieved her BFA in Drama at NYU with a minor in Business of Entertainment, Media, and Technology. During her time at NYU, she studies at the Atlantic Acting School and with Kevin Kuhlke’s International Theatre Workshop in Amsterdam.
As a bilingual actor, dancer, and creative theatrical artist that was raised in a multi-lingual and multi-cultural home, Elena aspires to be as much of a multi-hyphenate as possible.
As of now, she is an actor, fight director, intimacy director, stage manager, dancer, makeup artist, and singer.
Where it began…
At an early age the desire to tell stories was seen when she would read books to her little brother despite the fact that she herself could not yet read.
Her love for dress up and playing pretend was strong, but her need to move and perform was stronger, so she was put in ballet.
However, at the age of 4, she found ballet to be too slow for her, so her parents got her to try gymnastics - a sport she went on to do competitively for the next 9 years.
During middle school, she rediscovered dance and a new passion and love for musical theater and acting.
It was all she wanted to do for the rest of her life.
