Bio

Hi, my name is Elisha Haff. I am a first-year Missouri University of Science and Technology student studying Aerospace engineering. I was a full-time virtual LAUNCH student through Springfield Public Schools (Springfield R-XII) and MOCAP High School in Missouri and graduated top of my class; before high school, I was homeschooled. Living on a farm in rural Missouri allows me to take care of our family farm of registered Black Angus cattle and registered Savannah goats, teaching me the value of hard work and patience. Three words that describe me are devoted, loyal, and an advocate. I strive to stand by those three words in my interests and interactions. I have a lot of different hobbies and interests including photography, music, astronomy, reading, board games, and volunteering; I enjoy these activities in my free time and often with my family. You can always find me working on some project whether it is helping find funding for Asian Indian Minsters’ summer camp, working on Other Haff Photography’s website, or trying to make the best Pokémon or Magic the Gathering deck.
