Élan is a Cinema & Media Studies major, pursuing minors in Consumer Psychology, Creative Writing and French. Originally from Montréal, Canada, she has always been interested in stories featuring compelling characters that drive the narrative forward and inspire audiences. As an aspiring director and screenwriter, Élan is excited to foster opportunities that connect students with the vast world of media and entertainment through her involvement with UME. Some of her favourite films include Whiplash, Dunkirk and Dune. In addition to serving as one of UME’s Marketing Co-Chairs, Élan enjoys drumming in the Penn Jazz Ensembles and running tech for events at the Kelly Writers House as a media assistant.
