Ellen grew up in Nashville, TN, before earning degrees at Harvard University and Stanford University, and then settling in Belmont in 1996. She sings, together with her family, in the Family Folk Chorale, and she is grateful for the soul-filling music and “microphone fearlessness” it has given them all. Ellen has two children at the Chenery Middle School, and she spends a crazy number of hours watching hockey, basketball, soccer, and ultimate Frisbee games, as well as transporting kids back and forth between said activities – but she wouldn’t have it any other way!
