She was born in Kramatorsk, Ukraine, where she began her musical education. The choice of profession was evident as her father was the conductor of the city orchestra, in which he played the first trumpet. Under her father's guidance, Elena took her first steps into the world of music, constantly attending rehearsals, and later performing as a soloist and musician in the orchestra. In the music school of Kramatorsk, she chose the most unique and soul-stirring instrument – the violin. From then on, she could not imagine her life any other way. The spirit of performances, concert halls, bright lights, and applause became the path that Elena would choose for herself. During her time in college, one of her subjects was teaching. Under the guidance of a senior violin pedagogue, young Elena proved herself as a talented teacher and consistently received excellent feedback from the grateful parents of her students. After graduating from college, Elena obtained qualifications as a soloist, orchestra artist, ensemble player, conductor, and pedagogue. She decided to enroll in the G. S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University for pedagogy. There, she spent four years studying psychology and music teaching methodology. She later joined the Kharkiv Institute of Arts Conservatory and eventually completed her studies at the Ippolitov-Ivanov Pedagogical Institute in Moscow. She began her active career in Moscow, working with the V. Sudakov State Moscow Capella, the G. Chikhachev Children's Theater, the Silantyev State Big Academic Orchestra, Orpheus Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Kostroma Gubernsky State Orchestra, and performing as a soloist and orchestra member at various concert venues. Elena frequently toured both nationally and internationally. During her time at the Institute, she also demonstrated her talent as a music teacher in a music school. Teaching for over 12 years, Elena has produced numerous generations of violinists who have excelled in regional and international competitions.
