Ella worked in community engagement in local government for three years, while starting two businesses with her good friends; a community gym, and an architecture firm that specialised in building accessible spaces. She eventually went full-time with the businesses, while completing Bible College.

In 2024, she decided to pursue her football aspirations by moving to Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, and beginning work with Elevate Christian Disability Trust, bringing her leadership skills, flair for writing, design, and project management. 

In her personal time, Ella enjoys spending time with her family and watching sports.
