Elena has been involved in theatre since she was a child, from dressing up with her three siblings to perform skits, to playing principal roles in her high school productions. Throughout all of her various roles and titles in the theatre world, she has always been drawn to the world of hair and makeup.
Making people smile has been a goal of hers since she was a child, so pursuing hair and makeup was a no-brainer. The look of shock and awe that comes with transforming people makes everything worthwhile. Her passion for theatre can be completely understood by those who see a show and witness the magic that comes along with performance.
