About me

Hello! I’m Ella — a Chicago-based musical theatre performer with a love of storytelling and song. I'm finishing my senior year at Northwestern University, where I’m earning a degree in Theatre, a certificate in Musical Theatre, and a degree in Psychology.

As an artist, I’m especially interested in stories that explore human connection and complexity — as well as the inevitable humor that comes with being alive. Whether I’m working on a contemporary musical or a classic piece, I bring a flexible, thoughtful approach to every role. Most importantly, I care about empathy, collaboration, and remaining curious throughout the process.

Outside of performing, I’m passionate about learning in all forms — from books to new skills to everyday conversations. I also enjoy spending time with kids, playing board games that take longer to set up than to play, and unwinding by watching sitcoms, fantasy/sci-fi dramas, and YouTube videos with my hilarious friends.
