Elena from Mexico : A life of colours
from 177 Nations of Tasmania · host Mark Thomson
One could say that Elena's colourful personality and career match the country and culture she comes from - Mexico. When she was a young woman in Mexico, Elena decided she wanted to study "aestheticologie", which equates roughly to what we might call beauty therapy here. Elena had a successful career in Mexico working in TV and other fields. Through her work she would meet her Tasmanian husband and they would eventually come to Launceston with their two Mexican-born children. Things did not go to plan and Elena faced marriage break up and health issues on the way. Through a connection she became the host of a Spanish-language program on City Park Radio in Launceston, connecting her with many Spanish-speaking individuals and communities in Tasmania and beyond. She is also a strong advocate for the rights of children with autism , after her son was diagnosed with the condition.
