Ellie
Direct Support Professional
Hello! My name is Ellie. I live in Portland with my fiancée and our two cats, Emmett and Appa. I never get tired of seeing the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, especially as someone who grew up in the Midwest. In my free time I enjoy trying to learn musical instruments, particularly organ and mandolin. But I have so many fun instruments around! Besides that you can find me creating abstract art, playing with typography- I used to be a graphic designer and design is still in my blood- listening to just so much music (lately it’s been lots of REM and Chat Pile!) and playing video games (I’m a huge Dark Souls fan!!). When my health allows it I adore exploring Portland by bicycle.
I genuinely believe that my purpose in life is to help people and to put as much kindness, compassion, and love into the world as I can. I also believe in acceptance and love for everyone- I’m a trans feminine person and am very passionate about supporting fellow LGBTQ+ people, so you’re safe with me whoever you are and whoever you love.
