My name is Elena (they/she), I'm a queer voice actor, narrator, and arts educator based in Los Angeles. I'm a recent graduate with a degree in drama.With a passion for telling stories that resonate deeply, I've been fortunate to bring countless characters to life across various genres through my narration.After studying acting, voice, and breath-work in New York (Vassar College) and London (LAMDA), I completed the prestigious Penguin Random House Narrator Mentorship Program. My work has been recognized with multiple Earphones awards, a SOVAS award, and an Audies nomination— a testament to my dedication to crafting compelling performances.I'm inspired by stories that reflect our past, imagine new futures, and uplift marginalized voices. I’ve recorded over 50 audiobooks from middle-grade fiction to contemporary YA romance and beyond. I’m particularly drawn to stories that touch on themes of queerness, Latinx identity, and coming-of-age. I’m always looking to expand my horizons, grow my skills and explore new genres.
