Ella was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and grew up in the surrounding suburbs. She discovered her passion for videography at just 16 years old after joining her first film class, where her interest quickly grew into a deeper appreciation for the technical and creative sides of filmmaking. For Ella, storytelling is at the heart of everything she creates: “No matter if you are working on a client testimonial or a feature film, there will always be artistry and expression,” she says.
Ella earned her Bachelor of Science in Media and Entertainment, along with a minor in Music and Entertainment Business, from Kennesaw State University. Her education helped her develop a strong understanding of how to balance artistic creativity with practical business strategy, a combination that allows her to bring both vision and structure to every project.
During her time in college, Ella helped found Charitable Media Productions, an organization dedicated to creating media for nonprofit organizations, a role she continues to be involved in today. She also gained valuable hands-on experience through multiple internships, working on a wide range of projects, including music videos, commercials, short films, and interviews. These experiences helped shape her confidence and versatility, equipping her to lead projects from concept to completion.
Early in her career, Ella learned the importance of aligning creative work with a client’s message and brand. Today, she approaches every project with a thoughtful and strategic mindset, understanding that each element, from lighting to composition to editing, plays a role in telling a meaningful story.
Her favorite part of working in media is seeing the impact of her work, both during the creative process and once it reaches an audience. She especially enjoys connecting with people, hearing their stories, and helping present them in the most authentic and compelling way possible.
Ella was drawn to the personal injury field because of the powerful and ever-evolving stories within it. She values the opportunity to help educate the community and support individuals by creating content that informs, connects, and builds trust. Her work is driven by a strong foundation of creativity, connection, and a genuine appreciation for people and their stories, which she brings into every project she takes on.
Outside of work, Ella enjoys everything the Metro Atlanta area has to offer, from its vibrant creative scene to its endless activities and opportunities to connect with others. She continues to stay involved with nonprofit media work and frequently collaborates on creative projects with fellow filmmakers.
In her free time, she enjoys reading psychological thrillers, spending time outdoors hiking or camping, and relaxing around a fire. She also loves cheering on her siblings at their sporting events and spending time with family. Ella shares her home with two cats: Tobi, a gray tabby found on farmland, and Itachi, a black cat she adopted.
