Elena C. Hayden is a Cuban-America stand-up comedian and writer hailing from rainy Portland, OR. Aside from her great hair, Elena has been featured in some of Portland’s best comedy shows such as Comic Strip and You’re Wel- come. Post college, like most millennials, Elena struggled to find a conventional job, so in 2017 she took to the road and traveled across America via Amtrak (note: turns out she did not like the train). Her adventures can be found on ele- naescapes.wordpress.com.
