Ellen is from Paramus, NJ and is very excited to serve on the leadership team for NJSSC. As President of Bergen Tech's Environmental Protection Initiative, she has led lessons for each meeting, aided in the planning of the Paddle and March for Our Lungs, and organized fundraisers like the Dirt Cup Sale. She hopes to learn more about environmentalism and its intersections by working with many other environmental organizations, school clubs, and civic engagement groups.
