An exceptional student across all disciplines, Elena has a special passion for science. Through her Sports Medicine class, she gained hands-on experience treating athletes from the football and soccer teams—an experience that inspired her to pursue a career in Pediatric Medicine. This fall, she will attend Azusa Pacific University as a Kinesiology major.
