Ella’s College Qualifications
AI Certified
Completed Level 1 of Leland’s AI Builder Program
I'm Ella. I graduated from BYU with a degree in Human Resource Management, converted from intern to full-time at Leland while finishing my degree, and spent time during my undergrad as a mentor in BYU's HR Program helping students land internships at competitive companies like EY. I believe crafting the right narrative is the most important part of your college application. The students who get in, who get hired, who stand out are almost never the most impressive on paper. They're the ones who figured out how to present themselves with clarity and honesty. That's what I help you do. If you're trying to get into BYU, crack the business school application, or walk into your first internship ready to actually succeed, I'd love to work with you.

About Ella
If you're looking for help getting to BYU, I'd love to chat! I can help you with: - A bullet proof application strategy - Ding analysis/Candidacy evaluation - Essays that admissions readers actually remember - Letters of Recommendation - 180 resume revamp My clients have landed spots at BYU and the Marriott School of Business, and from business school to top companies. I've been on both sides of this process. I navigated BYU admissions, the business school application, and the internship-to-offer pipeline firsthand, then earned my degree in Human Resource Management. Now I work in Expert Success at Leland, where narrative and personal branding is literally my job. I'm your expert's expert for branding. I spend every day helping Leland coaches sharpen how they present themselves and connect with the right people. Reach out and let's get started!
Why do I coach?
I work in the coaching industry for a living, which means I've had a front-row seat to what happens when someone finally gets the right support. I've seen the "I got in" emails and texts sent to coaches, and watched students land internships they thought were completely out of reach. I've drunk the kool-aid of mentorship and reaching dreams since working here at Leland, and want to give back in the same way. Students that succeed are ones that want it - not just the ones with great backgrounds and perfect GPAs. Shoot me a note if that sounds like you!
