“I really enjoyed PSYCH1500. Elena has a warm and welcoming personality that made it really easy to address her with any issues or concerns. She had some great examples to help clarify the concepts from our book.”

Amazing, the teachers master their field very well, and they know how to teach it to other people. The students were amazing also, they participated to every class. The method that the teacher used made me feel like the course was not virtual.

"Elena is always ready to help and she constantly makes time for her students outside of class. She is genuine and kind and you can tell she really cares about seeing her students do their best. My experience in this course was significantly impacted by Elena. Without her I don't think I would have the quality of work that I currently do because she truly motivates her students to do their best and be creative! Her comments are always helpful and very insightful."

“Elena's passion for design and teaching was clear from the first class of the semester. From Rhino and Illustrator software tutorials, clarifying class projects from the beginning to the end of the design process, and being involved with the project every step of the way from design to construction and to presentation, Elena was an instrumental member of our team who truly gave 110% in everything she did. The project's success would not have been possible without her motivation, effort, and dedication from start to finish. She sought out opportunities to push the project forward critically and conceptually, while not missing the technical, physical construction aspects.”
