Hi my name is Elina !
I am a 17 year old Junior at the Hun School of Princeton in NJ. I play Golf and am captain of a rock climbing team and an avid lover of History and finding ways to help make my community a better place. I'm an active member of the Young Women's Leadership Cohort, the National Honor Society, the National Junior Classical League, the Red Shield Society, the Model UN, and several other clubs. I have also taken part in the MLK Leadership Summit, and hosted three Gender Equity Matters Summits. In Senior year I will be resuming my role as Peer Leader, and was appointed to the Honor and Disciplinary council at Hun. I am very excited to share that in September 2023 I will be giving a TED talk. I am excited to be speaking at the Apraxia Kids National Conference in July of 2023. I was adopted from Khabarovsk, Russia at two years old.
I seek to help others through Young Able Voices, and I look forward to making many new friends along the way
