Ellen was born and raised in Morris County, New Jersey and grew up loving this area. Raised in a Christian home, she trusted Christ as her savior while in elementary school. She began attending Bethlehem Church at thirteen years-of-age and always considered Bethlehem her church home. While a member of Bethlehem's Omega Youth Group, Ellen responded to the challenge to honor the Lord in every aspect of her life.

She went on to pursue a Master of Business Administration from the Florida Institute of Technology while working as a Management Analyst for the Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center.
In 1996 Ellen began to serve as the administrator for F.A.I.T.H. Center for the Arts, an outreach-based ministry of Bethlehem Church. During the time she served as administrator for the F.A.I.T.H. Center, Ellen had the privilege of ministering to over 100 families and their children as they explored the arts together. In 2004, Ellen joined the staff of Bethlehem Church as the Director of Children's Ministries.
Ellen and her husband David have two daughters: Kelsie and Charissa. They enjoy cycling, camping, canoeing, hiking, and going to the beach together.
