Ella's gymnastics career started after joining Twin City Twisters at 18 months old because she was jumping off everything and was full of energy! She eventually joined pre-team and started competing level 4 in 2011. At the 2016 Level 7 State Championships, Ella placed second on uneven bars and third in the all-around. She moved up to level 8 for the 2017 season, finishing third in the all-around and third on balance beam. Ella had a great start in 2018 as a second-year level 8 gymnast, finishing in the top three in every competition but was unable to compete halfway of the season due to an injury.

Ella came back strong in 2019 as a level 9 gymnast, finishing third in the all-around and second on uneven bars at the State Championships. She qualified to the Level 9 Western Nationals after finishing second in the all-around and first on uneven bars at the Region 4 Championships. At the Nationals in Spokane, WA, Ella placed third in the all-around with a 37.200, third on uneven bars and fourth on floor exercise. In 2020, Ella qualified to the Level 9 State Championships but was unable to compete due to COVID-19 pandemic.

While Ella is not training 20 hours each week, she enjoys being outdoors and crafts. She volunteers monthly with American Legion Riders to raise money for the veterans. Ella is also an honor student at Anoka High School. She aspires to compete for a Division I college gymnastics team.
