Hi Ryde, I’m Elena! I am from a small town a few hours out of the city but moved to Saskatoon four years ago for university. Movement has always been a huge part of my life; I played hockey, softball, volleyball, and ran track growing up. I felt I lost my sense of community leaving home and the teammates I had been so close with for 15 years. Ryde has welcomed me with open arms and provided me a community, a team, and a sense of belonging.
Outside of Ryde, I am finishing up my pharmacy degree. I am passionate about mental health with a special interest in substance use disorders. It is not uncommon to find me on one of Saskatoon’s many patios (I won’t need a menu though because I like to study the online menu before I arrive – it’s not weird).
In my class you can expect many songs you already know and love but remixed with bigger beats. I am so excited to connect with you all and sweat together!
