Hi, I’m Ella!
I’m a Chicago-based marketing professional and graduate student with a passion for brand building, digital strategy, and global business.
I discovered my passion for marketing during my sophomore year of undergrad. Since then, I have worked in a variety of industries, with a focus on digital and brand marketing.
When I entered the University of South Carolina’s Darla Moore School of Business in 2021, I knew I wanted to go into the business world, but I was unsure of which path I wanted to take. Once I took Introduction to Marketing, it was clear that that was my calling. The interdisciplinary, ever-changing nature of marketing spoke to me, especially the intersection of creativity, people skills, and analytics it offered.
Ever since then, I have worked to sharpen my skills in both brand and digital marketing. I have completed three internships, two practica, and held two part-time jobs. All of these roles have helped me develop as a marketer, communicator, and person.
