Ellie started working for CIP Berkshire in August of 2025, but has worked in education since 2024 as a Special Education Paraprofessional. She previously found success working with students on the spectrum, and with behavioral, emotional/mental, and other learning differences. This opportunity gave her the necessary skills to assist students here at CIP with career goals and opportunities in leading a fulfilled life.
As a career coach at CIP, Ellie helps students on the spectrum build job skills, engage with employers, build professional connections, and find strengths on the job by visiting with students 1:1 to understand their goals and aspirations, as well as accompanying them in their internships to support them as needed. Ellie has earned a B.A. in Sociology from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
When she’s not in the office or on the job with students, you can find her at the gym, in a cozy cafe with a book, or out in nature enjoying the wildlife! She enjoys ceramics and is an avid LEGO fan as well!
