About Ellie
Hi! I'm Ellie. Thank you so much for your interest in EAA. This studio has been a dream of mine for quite sometime now and seeing it come to life has been a true joy! I love teaching theatre and I love bringing my passion for theatre to the community of Brookings. Thank you all so much for your love and support since my doors opened in May of 2014. I can't wait to see what happens next...just you wait!

My Family
|
My husband Mike and I have been married since 2012. We met in PA while I was acting professionally and he was working as a food scientist. We moved to Kennewick, WA in 2011 and had our first daughter Cora Jane in April of 2013. We moved to Brookings in December of 2013 when Mike got a job at Bel Brands USA. On November 18, 2015 we welcomed our second daughter Penelope into the world! We have a mini schnauzer named Cooper and live on Leprechaun Circle. In my "free time" I coach the BHS dance team and work at Trendz Studio. I love spending time with family, boating, singing my favorite Broadway musicals as loud as possible when no one is listening, and finding new projects on Pinterest. We LOVE living in Brookings and are so happy to call it our forever home.
