Born and bred in Narrabeen, Ellen grew up at one of the most competitive surfing beaches in the world. She became inspired to surf after watching and learning from some of the best surfers in the world such as, World Champion Damien Hardman, Simon Anderson, Nathan Hedge and Chris Davidson.

Ellen possesses a style that is fast and powerful. Her technique is exceptional and she consistently pushes her surfing to the limits through radical manoeuvres. She is committed to peak physical and mental condition through a grueling training regime. Ellen has a great personality, strength of character and spunk.

In 2002, Ellen obtained a year-end rating of 42 on the ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS) and acquired her first taste of international competition. This was an exceptional result considering she only competed in four events.
