Elli is an artist and one of her favorite mediums is writing. She’s written for the U of I at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) chapter of Her Campus, the UIUC literary arts journal, Montage, and the nonprofit online magazine Culturally Modified. During her time as an intern at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, she also had the distinct pleasure of interviewing a fellow intern for the museum blog -- an experience that only confirmed her love for learning about others and sharing their unique stories.
When she's not jotting down ideas for her next article, you can often find her obsessing over Instagram filters, binge-watching anime, practicing yoga, or spending time outside.
