Ellen began serving as a local ministries resident in June 2025. She graduated from Tabor College with a psychology degree in 2016. Shortly after, she and her husband got married and moved to Wichita. They started attending Ridgepoint when they moved here and have since added two energetic boys to their family. Prior to serving as a resident, she spent several years as a human resources specialist at Chick-fil-A West Wichita and an event coordinator at Wichita State University.

Fun facts: While growing up in Iowa, she and her dad completed RAGBRAI (an organized bike ride across the state of Iowa) five times. These days, she enjoys cooking and baking with her very helpful toddlers.
