Elanra Spiritwind

CU Boulder '28

Elanra is a sophomore at the University of Colorado Boulder but took two years off after high school to travel Europe. She lived in Florence, Italy for five months and became a whole different person when she went back to Colorado. She was the healthiest version of herself.
Her major is in speech, language, and hearing sciences(SLHS) because she was born with bilateral hearing loss, and growing up, she needed a speech therapist to communicate with friends and family. After all, she was never exposed to any other folks who are deaf or hard of hearing so verbal communication was the game plan. Until about 2 years ago, Elanra realized that there is a whole world of deaf culture out there. Elanra has always loved learning new hobbies and has a different project every week. However, her consistent passions have stuck with snowboarding, creating poetry, drawing, and fishing. Elanra and her best friend frequently knit together and talk about whatever is going on in our daily lives or any underlying thoughts that have been lurking. Halloween is their favorite holiday so they start decorating two months before and Elanra adores the original Beetlejuice movie along with the new Beetlejuice. Another film that she loves is "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" because of how it reflects the conflicting concepts of unconditional love and one's individual needs at the same time. The musical taste this woman has is superb, it involves a variety of genres such as Incubus, AC/DC, River Whyless, Her's, Babe Rainbow, Amy Winehouse, J-Cole, and Felly. Meals are the key to her heart, she is not a big snacker but will do anything for soup. She is a soup girl and with grilled cheese, you got yourself a deal.
