Ella graduated from North Liberty High School in Iowa City in 2021. She is currently working on her animal science degree from NICC and moving on to DMACC in the fall of 2024, with plans to move on to equine surgical school. Ever since she was little, Ella has been interested in horses and their skeletal systems. Her dream is to one day become an orthopedic surgeon for horses and have her own clinic. She currently has two dogs in Iowa, Scout (a yellow lab) and Luna (a 7-month-old Staffy puppy), and a 15-year-old cat in Texas named Kitty. In her spare time, she likes to hang out with her family and travel to Texas multiple times a year to see her mom and brother [citation].
