Elfreda is full of energy and loves spending time hanging out with friends and making people laugh. She is going on her second year of writing for the Tide, writing Features articles on a variety of topics she enjoys. Even though she doesn’t aim to pursue journalism, she’s enjoyed writing since she was a kid. In her free time, you’ll probably find her napping. If you’re lucky enough to catch her awake, she’s probably snacking or drinking juice - her favorite drink.
