¡±á´Ç±ô²¹!

I’m Elena and I’ll be one of your Spanish FLAs for the 2024/2025 year!

So, about me, I’m 23 and I was born and raised in A Coruña, a city in Galicia, the North-West of Spain. I like to think of this place as a little Ireland, because we share our rainy weather and Celtic roots. We also have many legends and mystic tales that I can tell you about next year.

I’m a 2024 college graduate at University of A Coruña, where I studied English and Spanish philology. Although I chose this career because of literature, I’ve learnt to love its linguistic side too.
Besides from reading (what a surprise for a language student), I like listening to music (basic) and watching TV shows (unsurprising). I also like to sleep (which is a non-stereotypical way to say I enjoy a siesta from time to time, by the way).

I lived in the States when I was a junior in high school, where I helped my Spanish teacher with her classes. There, I learnt that getting other people excited to learn about my country and language is one of my passions.

I’m very excited to arrive at º£½ÇÉçÇø and discover what’s like there. I love New England’s falls and winters. I’m looking forward to participating in the Spanish club and cheering on the Crusaders whenever I can!

¡Hasta pronto!
