Elena Weinberg ’12

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Eckerd chapter.

Elena Weinberg is quite the catch. Not only is she one of the newest members of the Eckerd College Dance Company, but she’s also the Director of Palmetto Productions and has one of the biggest smiles around–not to mention the girl is practically studying everything from Physics to Chinese, all with a killer sense of humor. With an impressive course load and an inspiring dedication to Palmetto and Eckerd College, it’s no wonder Elena is one of our favorite campus cuties–beauty and brains, too!

A Lilly loving, pearl wearing, history buff from Long Island, NY, Elizabeth Tomaselli is a Political Science and Journalism major minoring in Marine Science and Italian at Eckerd College. When she's not teaching aerobics and pilates or editing the school newspaper, you can find her hosting Gossip Girl premiere parties or tanning on the dock with her Beta girls. She is a self-professed pink lover with a striking ability to predict storylines in movies and TV shows. Aside from her adoration for Blair Waldorf and Jackie O, Liz enjoys playing tennis, dancing, and participating in family croquet tournaments at the little yellow house on Luther Place. Sometimes called the energizer bunny, she can function on little sleep, however, often requires coffee and Light & Fit yogurt to stay productive. With a big smile and curly brown hair, this senior plans to take over the world, one expensive shoe at a time.
