Ella joined North Sound ACH in December 2021 as a Care Coordination Specialist. She brings six years of experience in the healthcare industry, working as a case manager to help clients find housing and provide care coordination.

Her passion for this line of work comes from having experienced inequity first-hand as a child of immigrant parents. She learned to navigate the broken health system with her family and to advocate for them, as they tried to navigate a new country and culture. She understands the struggles that marginalized communities continue to face, and looks forward to assisting community members navigate resources that are available to them that will help them succeed.

What drives her in this work is being the community cheerleader that empowers everyone to use their voice. “My heart breaks when I see others struggling when I know the answer can be so simple, like giving people a voice and the dignity they deserve. Love is also what drives, and will continue to drive, me in a world full of so much brokenness. I want to remind the world that all of us have value beyond what we could ever imagine.
