Hailing from a close-knit coastal town in south-east Australia, Ella grew up as a keen surfer enthralled by the elements. With the seaside fuelling her creativity from the sidelines, she began acting classes at Helen O’Grady’s Drama Academy as a young teen. She also took on the role of teacher outside of her own learning, establishing herself as a surf coach and delighting in the joy of helping others immerse themselves in the wonders of the ocean. City life beckoned when she finished high school, and Ella moved to Melbourne to nurture her love for performing arts. While embarking on her first year of tertiary education, she studied at St Martins Youth Arts Centre. She moved on to enrol at 16th Street Actors Studio and completed short courses at NIDA and the VCA.
