Ellie was born and raised in Los Angeles California. Her musical upbringing consisted of Jimmy Buffet music and Girl Scout campfire songs until her parents mistakenly put her in an after-school theatre program. The Seussical the Musical CD soon made its residency in her mom's Nissan. Since then, Ellie has loved all aspects of performing. She spent her high school years dancing competitively and claiming her reign of popularity as the captain of the her high school's comedy improv team. After a somber 2020 high school graduation, Ellie picked up her things and moved from California to New Jersey to pursue a BFA in musical theatre. 

​

In college, Ellie was able to expand as an artist as she discovered a passion for directing. She strives to cultivate creative spaces that prioritize collaboration and inclusion.

When not performing, you can find Ellie watching stand-up comedy specials, visiting local museums, or saying "that was a big one" at the nearest beach.
