Ellie is a passionate communicator, especially on topics relating to the joys and struggles of bringing up kids. After 20 years in Auckland, working mainly in publishing, Ellie now lives beside the sea in Northland with her family, where she works from home as a content editor and presenter for Parenting Place. (And drives the kids to after-school activities way more often than she’d like to admit.)

Having trained in communication and media (as a young person fresh out of high school), Ellie has a range of experience working in radio and print. She values honesty and relatability, and believes small changes and loads of encouragement can make a huge difference to family life.
