Native to New Jersey, Ellie moved to Montana after a brief vacation made her realize that "Montana was home." She lives on a micro urban farm in Billings with her husband and is unabashedly owned by four dogs, one horse and four chickens.

When Ellie is not working, writing or herding chickens, she enjoys the practice of yoga, exploring the Montana countryside on foot or cross-country skis, and learning how to sail.
