Born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Elena is the epitome of a midwest princess. Growing up, Elena tried to harvest a creative environment everywhere she went. Whether she was singing in her school’s choir or filling her schedule with ceramics classes, she was always pushing towards an artistic future. This passion took her across the country to fulfill her lifelong dreams, joining the mass of struggling actors in New York City.

A singer first and foremost, Elena has worked with music since she can remember. Found on the stage since the age of 10 years old, she has always felt most like herself when she’s singing. Over time, her love for music developed into an enthusiasm for story telling, connection, and community. She now hopes to work on inspiring pieces that spark conversation and move audiences the way she has been moved as an audience member herself. Whether contemporary or classic, Elena is ready to dive into any world onstage and onscreen.

Although rooted to the stage, Elena would describe herself as a ‘jack of all trades’. Alongside her BFA in musical theater from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, Elena is an ISSA certified personal trainer and Senior Solidcore coach. After arbitrarily deciding to become as cycle coach in college at the age of 20, she quickly realized how important fitness and strength is to a long lasting career in theatre. She now strives to inspire and teach others how to do the same. And finally, Elena is a photographer, mostly specializing in headshots, dance, special events, and travel. She aims to capture the world’s most special moments.
