Elaine Ruan

Elaine is a writer for UVA's Her Campus Chapter and a first-year student at the University of Virginia, where she plans to major in psychology.

Beyond Her Campus, Elaine is also a contributor to {In}visible Magazine, where she shares perspectives and creates stories. She volunteers with Madison House as well, giving her the opportunity to engage with the Charlottesville community and give back through service.

When she’s not writing or studying, Elaine can usually be found watching dramas, catching up with friends, or attending concerts. She cherishes her downtime during longer school breaks, when she gets to fly back home and reunite with her family.
