A little bit more about me…

Ever since I was young, I always knew I was a storyteller.

However, it took form, whether it be long, overdramatic novels written in spiral notebooks when I should’ve been paying attention in math class or a documentary I made of my track team when I should’ve been running the 100-meter dash. From the get-go, nothing could get in the way of me pursuing my passions.

Hi. I’m Ellie! Ever since I discovered storytelling through video + media, I have never been the same.

I graduated from the University of Cincinnati (Go Bearcats) with a degree in media production, specifically with a focus on film & television, minoring in communication, and receiving a certificate in screenwriting.

Since then, I have pursued a career in storytelling and finding ways to be creative every day. For the past 2 years, I’ve worked at AGAR, an experiential marketing agency where I manage and create content as part of the video and marketing team.

Outside my work at AGAR, I have continued my career as a young filmmaker. My award-winning short films, WATCH and PLACES, wrapped up their festival runs and screenings at local and national festivals.

As I look ahead to the next chapter, I am working towards new opportunities in either New York or Chicago (or wherever the wind takes me), continuing to grow as a creative, collaborator, and storyteller.


Here’s to the future stories that are waiting to be told.
