"Every teacher, whether they admit it or not, has a student brighter and more capable than them self. I do not hesitate to admit Eliana is one of those students. Throughout my time knowing Eliana as my student and later as my teaching assistant she consistently demonstrated what I think is her greatest asset, her ability to take initiative. The type of initiative Eliana displayed was nuanced. It wasn’t simply taking charge of a task, rather her approach to initiative was to collaborate with others and motivate them to make sure a task is completed.

"I had the pleasure of working with Eliana for a few years at Eliana's Fairytale Celebrations. Eliana's ability to handle tough situations and clients was an impressive skill that she was able to deliver on every time. Her communication skills and attention to details always had our staff in awe at Eliana's Fairytale Celebrations. Without a doubt she was always making sure things were exceeding expectations for clients and guests. As a team member or a leader, anybody would be lucky to work with her."
