Ellie hails from Pennsylvania, took a bite out of the Big Apple, and is now going global.

She spent many years as a musical theater kid before being wooed by improv comedy; during her four years at Fordham University Lincoln Center, she took classes with Upright Citizen’s Brigade, the Magnet Theater, and the Second City in both sketch and improv. She has had the privilege of training with some incredibly funny people, including Armando Diaz, Louis Kornfeld, Peter McNerney, Nick Kanellis, Toni Charline, and Sarah Claspell. She spent a year as a house performer on the Magnet Megawatt team Wet Denim before spending a semester abroad in Rome (Fall 2024). After her graduation in May 2025 (with a Film and Television major and minors in Visual Arts and Italian), she returned to Rome to study Italian at Scuola Romit, fulfilling her artistic side through freelance script coverage, graphic design, and teaching improv.

Currently, she is completing a MA in Creative Production (Film) at Catalyst Institute in Berlin.
