Elena Key is not your typical 17-year-old senior, she loves helping others and usually puts their needs before her own. Key enjoys putting a smile on other’s faces and considers herself an emotionally strong person. 

Key was born in Plantation, Florida, and is very proud of her Venezuelan roots. Her first language is Spanish and is the parliamentarian of the Spanish Honor Society and captain of the Bulldog Dance Theatre at SBHS. 

Key’s greatest academic strength is the field of language arts, but finds mathematics “emotionally draining.” The action and romance fanatic’s favorite hobby is doing her makeup and a lot of her time learning new techniques from YouTubers like James Charles or Sylvia Gani. 

Key’s biggest fear is losing her mother. One thing that impacted her life was losing three family members in one year, showing her not to take things for granted and helped her mature into a better person. She enjoys listening to several music genres but dislikes country and K-pop. 

Key chooses dogs over cats because they make great companions who are simply “fluffier.”After graduating she is planning on attending either FIU or UCF, and wishes to receive her major in communications. In ten years, she sees herself settling down and having a family or at the peak of her famous career.
