About Me
Ellen English
Ellen has nearly 20 years’ experience in corporate communications , writing for senior leaders across biopharma and tech. After shepherding communications at Google and Merck, she went on to a boutique communications agency before founding her own firm five years ago.
Throughout her professional tenure, she has made time to fulfill a passion for helping students with the most important piece of writing in their young lives — the college essay. Her portfolio of essay clients has grown with her firm, Modern English.
When not serving as a communications maven or essay coach, Ellen spends time with her three teen daughters and fellow Duke Blue Devil husband, Jason. She serves as her family’s CEO, COO, CMO and CFO. Their Labrador Retrievers Lucy and Sadie add to the beautiful chaos.
