Meet Ella Schuellerman, our Arts & Lifestyle Editor of The Carroll News. Ella is a Communication major with a focus of Integrated Marketing and a Business minor of Entrepreneurship. Graduating in Spring of 2021, Ella exemplifies what it means to accomplish anything you put your mind to. Ella began writing for The Carroll News as a staff reporter in 2017 and by the end of the school year rose to Arts & Lifestyle Editor.

In addition to her marketing, digital media, creative writing, entrepreneurship, and innovative work, Ella has studied multiple visual arts. In 2019, Ella studied abroad at Regents University London and lived right in the heart of Regents Park. During that semester, she studied photography, film, media, design and fashion, learning directly from mentors who have worked in The Arts for decades.

In addition to her nearly three years at The Carroll News, some of her favorite jobs included her time as an Experience Manufacturer and Vendor Coordinator for the Cleveland Flea (2018-2019) and the Marketing and Branding Intern for the Tim Russert Department of Communication (2019). Her newest endeavor is writing a book about normalizing normal bodies and the lifetime struggle women experience accepting themselves, set to publish in Spring 2021.

Originally from Hudson, Ohio, Ella commends her love for writing from her parents Pam and Dave Schuellerman. She looks up to her younger siblings Calvin, Henry and Cara as her biggest motivators. If Ella is not spending time writing or working, you can find her hitting up a local coffee shop or supporting local businesses. Her favorite way to spend a Saturday in Cleveland is with some ice coffee, strolling through a farmers market, a hike and ending the day with some Mitchell's Ice Cream.
