Start year: 2011

Experience:

• Earned a BA in anthropology from Skidmore College, and is finishing up her master’s degree in museum studies at Harvard University.
• Spent many years supporting executive leadership, including four years with HouseWorks’ CEO in Boston.

Inspiration: Her father – “He works tirelessly for a pharmaceutical company to design clinical trials for infection and oncology treatments. I’m inspired by his dedication to science and his selfless commitment to drug therapies.”

On HouseWorks: “I believe in HouseWorks’ dedication to helping seniors age as they want to – at home. I think it’s what more people want, and HouseWorks makes it possible.”

In brief: Elana is demanding…in the best way. She asks a lot of herself and of those around her when it comes to “professionalism, attention to detail, and good judgment.” She also knows how to keep it light - “I like to approach difficult situations with humor; if you’re smiling and laughing, it just doesn’t seem stressful!”
