My name is Elina San Blas, 2026 and I am from Miami, Fl. I am a senior, majoring in Economics and working toward a certificate in Finance. While at Princeton I have worked with the Financial Literacy Program and served as Treasurer of the Pre-Medical Society. I am also a member of the Charter Eating Club! 

In my free time I prioritize spending time with my friends, often listening to music together, getting acai bowls, or sitting by the SPIA fountain to catch up. My favorite first year memory was coming out of Frick Laboratory and seeing snow fall for the first time in my life. 

It is super important to prioritize your health. To ensure my well being, I always make sure to get enough sleep, often being in bed before midnight. I often take routine breaks that do not involve my phone, especially when I’m buried in work. Asking for help at Princeton is extremely important. It reminds you that you are not alone and that everyone wants to see you succeed!

I’m looking forward to meeting all you first-years. Welcome to New College West!
