Outside of school, she enjoys a variety of other activities in her free time. “If I didn’t have to sleep I would probably do homework or other activities that I usually don’t have time for in my regular day,” she expresses. With one of her priorities being academics, she also prioritizes dance. She is a dancer at Sue Hewitt Dance Studio and has been dancing there for about 12 years.
One of Elia’s further interests is TV shows. “Some shows I’m into are The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, and Community,” she states. She also has an interest in animals. She has three pets, a cat named Theo and two dogs. In addition to dancing and playing lacrosse, she has many other skills. “A kind of job I think I’d be good at is working in food service,” she claims.
