She is happily married to Jesse (yes, they share the same name!) and have a fun-filled daughter that keeps them on their toes. They live on a small homestead north of Pasco.

lena has a heart for helping little ones grow in their faith, discover the world around them, and experience the love of Jesus in their everyday lives. As the director of Happy Hearts Preschool, she is passionate about creating a nurturing, Christ centered environment where children can learn through play, explore their God given creativity, build friendships, and develop a strong foundation of faith. She believes that some of the most meaningful learning happens when children are given the freedom to ask questions, try new things, and discover just how wonderfully God made them.

Outside the classroom, Elena enjoys hiking, exploring nature, and making memories with her husband and their three boys. She loves hands on projects, creative ideas, and bringing a little extra fun into everyday life. And if you know Elena, you might also know that she has a soft spot for Hello Kitty! She considers it a privilege to partner with families during these precious early years and to help children begin their journey of knowing and loving Jesus.
