Elena was born and raised in the Charlottesville area. She is currently attending PVCC for Early Childhood Education. She has worked in Early Childhood Education and special education for the last 4 years, after deciding to pursue a career that filled her life with more purpose in the new world/life changes COVID produced for us all.

Elena  learned about ONCDC through her friend Ben. She values kindness and ethics the most and loves helping instill  those values in the children under her care.
She is excited to encourage the children to learn, grow, and find their own strengths and interests in learning!
