Ella is a senior, in her third year of journalism. She joined journalism because she loves any and all types of writing, and we have really big computers. Ella loves to dance and cook (working on the latter), and her favorite place is the beach. Her favorite food is enchiladas and she aspires to learn finger-knitting.
