Elena is a hard-working, driven young writer who is constantly pitching ideas, brainstorming, and pursuing her passion. She is eager and highly dependable and is open to direction and feedback.

Melissa Bykofsky

Elena was extremely dedicated and driven as editor of the arts & entertainment section of Pipe Dream. She stayed up to date on local and national trends and cultural issues to include in the section. She even conducted a campus-wide sex survey that was one of the most viewed articles on bupipedream.com. Elena specializes in celebrity interviews and has published interviews with Kev Nish of Far East Movement, Snooki from MTV's Jersey Shore and actor Billy Baldwin. While editor, she promoted local restaurants and shops to improve the university's relations with the city surrounding it. She even went above and beyond her responsibilities of arts and entertainment editor to help the news section report a breaking news story. Elena was a great addition to the Pipe Dream newsroom and I was lucky to have someone with her creativity and professionalism on my editorial board.
