Fluent in Spanish
Hello, my name is Elena! I have achieved a bachelor's degree from in Art Therapy and I am excited to put into practice the things I have learned during my beautiful years there. I was born in Puerto Rico and because of this, I am fluent in Spanish. As of right now, I have worked with people from as young as 10 years old to 60+ years old and I hope to expand this age range as time goes on. Previously, I worked at an afterschool program as a dance instructor and a tutor. Later on, I interned with teens that lived at a rehabilitation center, and later with adults with intellectual disabilities. I love making art and always look to use unconventional materials to create beautiful pieces and always look to mold activities in order to serve others better.
