about elena

Elena is a writer/producer/director/basketball nerd based in Los Angeles, CA.

She was a staff writer on season 2 of HBO’s late night sports/comedy show Game Theory with Bomani Jones, and worked as a producer on Broad City (Comedy Central), Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj (Netflix), Would I Lie To You? (The CW), It’s Personal with Amy Hoggart (TruTV), Big Trick Energy (TruTV), Content Guy with Conner O’Malley (FX pilot), and Comedy On Earth: NYC 2020-2021 (Comedy Central).

Elena’s independent projects have been featured in LA Comedy Film Fest 365, the 50/50 Comedy Fest, Indie Short Fest, and Silver Lake Shorts. She also co-created and wrote a new Adult Swim SMALLS web series set to release in early 2025.

While she works primarily in comedy, Elena has also been drawn toward meaningful work in the documentary space. She’s channeled her storytelling chops and her background as an undergrad history major (ask her about the Cold War) to contribute work to such notable studios as Ken Burns’ Florentine Films, The Documentary Group, and Break-Thru Films. In 2022, she produced and directed field pieces for Queer Sports, a documentary / panel show for VICE News.

Her true dream job is Wedding DJ. Tried it once…was not asked back. A girl can dream!
