For wellness, Ella enjoys starting her days with yoga and ending her days with long walks, weather allowing. She has two cats, Ringo and Murfee. Her favorite books include The Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, and Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb. She finds a special connection with Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice. Ella says, "I admire her confidence in who she is and isn't afraid to have her own opinions, but also learns along the way. I connect with the idea of growing and learning through experiences. I also love her sense of humor and the way she brings a little lightness to different situations."
