Bio
Andrea Kelley
Working with Ellen on a large, professional committee was rewarding. Design Review Committee, by its very charge and nature of projects (eg. Newton North HIgh School), is a tough thing, but Ellen helped elevate it. Her expertise was crucial, particularly around the green building/LEEDS aspects. She has excellent communication ability and people dynamics in a group: crucial and subtle skills.
Wei Ming W.
Ellen's intellect, experience, and willingness to share her perspectives make her an excellent team player and a great contributor to those with whom she works. I have taken many classes with Ellen at the SOM, and have found that no matter what the topic was at hand, she always asked the right questions and provoked thinking outside the box. She is a hard worker and she is not afraid of a challenge. I highly recommend Ellen and her work to any organization.
