Wellness Programming ProducerElle (she/her) is a second year Jesuit Volunteer/Americorps Member and the Wellness Programming Producer at KYUK. Elle attended La Salle University, where she "graduated" in 2020. She is happy to have found a position where she can use her communication major AND biology minor so that she no longer has to answer the dreaded question, "what are you going to do with THAT?"
Elle is excited to be spending a second year learning from the people and land of the Y-K Delta.
