Miss Elena
Miss Elena is currently a Pre-K Teacher at the University of Scranton and a British music teacher that graduated from the University of Hull, UK in 2018. She majored in music performance, technology and education. Following her degree, Miss Elena ventured 'over the pond' to Cambodia for the opportunity to teach and nurture unprivileged children. Whilst creating life-lasting memories and relationships, Miss Elena instantly fell in love with teaching children of all ages and giving as much to the community as possible.
​
Devoted wife to her husband, Dylan, and the mom of a very rambunctious, curious, & fun-loving little girl, Elena enjoys raising her children in a Montessori-led & music-filled home & has a passion for baking, gardening & everything natural!
After attending a local music class in the summer of 2020, Elena fell in love with the community of moms & lasting impression classes had on her children. Since then, Elena has stepped in as the head of Musical Mornings & is honored to teach classes that enable moms, dads, & caregivers to share the gift of music, rhythm, literature, dance, & PURE JOY with their children.
​
Elena's goal is to serve her community through Scranton Musical Mornings by providing a nurturing, healthy, & neurologically stimulating environment for children. Get ready for your child to make lasting neural connections between music, mind, body, heart & soul.
