Hey y’all! My name is Elena (she/they) and I am a Junior in Branford college majoring in Architecture with a concentration in Design. I am originally from Greenville, SC, but really consider home to be wherever my avocado plant is. My family is from a town called Rio Hondo in Zacapa, Guatemala, which is really more desert and cacti than anything. This year (aside from being your Co-Head PL), I am serving as an Academic Strategies Peer Mentor and am a third year member of WORD: Performance Poetry at Yale. Outside of Yale, I run a small crochet/handmade goods business and am passionate about urban planning, green infrastructure, and art of all kinds. I would love to chat about anything and everything (especially music, poetry, and the outdoors), so please feel free to reach out!
