I love the energy, the teamwork and all the hard work it takes to get to the final outcome. Elena strives to be the best she can be and not allow anything to limit her.
Elena is inspired by her parents hard work, determination, love and guidance as well as her own natural drive. She has such a unique, caring and independent drive that helps her naturally to inspire others as well as herself.
Elena strives to be the best she can be and not allow anything to limit her. Yes has a heart of gold. Her 2024-25 cheer school had a Unique Abilities Team. During the EOY Award Banquet when everyone was doing their own thing, Elena pulled that team to the dance floor w/her and had a great time making them dance, smile and laugh. That was one of the proudest moments. She always tries to make people happy and feel included, happy & safe.
