About Elena

My name is Elena. I am a grad student at Liberty University Online studying Visual Communication Design (aka graphic design), but my undergrad is in Human Development and Family Sciences. I have extensive experience in various childcare settings as an occasional babysitter, swim instructor, gymnastics coach, early childhood intervention intern, daycare teacher, and full-time nanny. I am passionate about meeting children where they are and creating a fun, creative atmosphere where they can thrive. Fast Facts: 1. I own and run a portrait photography business that caters to individuals, families, and companies in the Golden Triangle region. 2. I volunteer as a graphic designer for a small mental health company. My goal is to one day be employed full-time at a mental health non-profit. 3. I grew up in north metro Atlanta before moving to Mississippi for school. 4. I am a proud cat mom to two of the sweetest kitties. 5. I was a barista and can tell you all the coffee tips!
