Get connected

I'm Ellen, and I consider myself to be a Community Connector. I'm a business owner, marketing and communications professional, and storyteller.

I’m the founder and CEO of social media marketing agency Hello Social Co., where we develop strategies and manage social for clients large and small. Occasionally, you’ll find me writing about what it means to be a business owner, and how I’ve grown as one. On the side, I take on clients to consult with them on their communications and marketing strategies — digging into everything from their website copy to their print advertising plans.

This site also serves as my professional portfolio, where I share many of the articles that have been published online. I’m a writer at heart (I met my husband in journalism school!), and while I don’t need to freelance to get by, I genuinely enjoy writing and putting stories out into the world.
