Elle is an avid surfer, activist, and global citizen. She is originally from Southern Florida and spent much of her childhood in the Bahamas, when she moved to Indonesia at fourteen years old and attended the ‘Green School,’ an environmental school in the heart of Bali. She is interested in almost anything under the sun, including surfing (or any outdoor activity), alternative medicine, and asian cooking. After leaving Bali as valedictorian of Green School's fourth graduating class, Elle embarked on a gap year to work and travel. She is currently spending time in British Columbia before the starting school in September.
