Elena first started working at La Mama in 2015 as a Script Assessor intern. After the completion of her internship, Elena continued to hang around and was overjoyed to take on the role of Office Coordinator in 2016. As an advocate for animal rights, Elena considers her greatest achievement to date the obliteration of the traditional sausages from the La Mama season launches.
