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 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. Through my experience at UC, I gained valuable hands-on experience through directing and writing my own short films that have gone on to be nominated for various student Emmy awards and been picked for local short film screenings.

Currently, I am telling stories at AGAR as a multimedia coordinator on the video and marketing team as well as continuing my career as a young filmmaker. My short films WATCH and PLACES are currently on their festival runs and I am always looking for future projects and collaborations.

Here is to being a storyteller and to the future stories that are waiting to be told.
