It's clear that Ella's not just naturally talented; she's also putting in a lot of effort to perfect her art.

She's doing great in a tough field, shining both when she's on her own and when she's part of a team in musicals like "Shrek Jr," "Frozen Jr," "High School Musical," and "Mary Poppins." These roles have not only highlighted her singing skills but also her ability to adapt and connect with people.

Ella also shares her talent in her church as a worship vocalist, which shows another side of her musical journey and her desire to inspire others. This part of her work emphasizes her flexibility and eagerness to explore all aspects of her musical identity.

Her commitment to getting better is obvious, too. She's studying with a classically trained voice coach, a decision that shows her ambition and her drive to be the best she can be. This coaching is key in polishing her skills as she becomes more recognized in the music world.

She's also giving back by mentoring young artists in the Overflow Fine Arts Program.
