Hi there! I'm Elena.

​I grew up in the Bay Area, California. I have degrees in both Studio Art and Digital Art & Animation. My entire life I've struggled with figuring out what I really want to do with my career, time, creativity, passions, and interests. I often feel there are so many amazing things I want to try that I get stuck and can't pick just one. It's been tricky, but the one thing that's been consistent is my love for YouTube and my daydream of one day making a living as a full time content creator and business owner.


Back in California I was an art teacher, working with children. It was a fun experience that really helped me grow and become more comfortable talking in front of large groups of people. During the Covid Pandemic of 2020 I felt stagnant and isolated. I was really unhappy and ready to make a big change. I pulled up my Apple Maps and picked a city in Washington state that wasn't too big but also not too small. So I quit my job and moved by myself to a new city in a new state where I had no job or friends. I started over from scratch.

Since moving, I worked for a children's art and science museum and then worked remotely for a small software company as their content creator & software trainer. I started my YouTube channel during the Pandemic but didn't really take it seriously until Fall 2024, shortly after adopting my kitten, Loki. This was a really difficult time for me, and sharing my love for cats and my new baby was really what kept me going. I've always fantasized about how amazing it would be to make a living creating my own content for YouTube, and this was the first time I really felt like the timing was right. So, I was obsessed and consistent until I finally began to see results.

 

For the time being, my video topics cover advice on cat care and cat training, my life as a childless cat lady, and updates on my YouTube growth journey. I hope you will join Loki and me for the ride!

​
