Elisa Garcia
Assistant Manager
Summary
There’s two type of people in this world: those that call me Elisa and those that call me Ellie.
I am a multi-media platform journalist who believes everyone holds a story that could change the world. I have experience in news, feature, music and fashion writing as well as social media. Things I have interests in, but don’t know how to do yet and definitely want to learn, are photography and film. If I’m not writing, you can catch me watching Doctor Who.
Let’s chat (and talk the 13th Doctor!).
