Ellen is the Research and Communications Manager working at the intersection of music, health, and social impact. She plays a key role in the Power of Music for Health and Wellbeing consortium as its secretariat, and supports the Music for Dementia campaign—both of which advocate for the integration of music into health and social care.

With over five years of experience in communications, research and advocacy, Ellen specialises in crafting accessible, evidence-based messaging that drives engagement, awareness, and policy change. She has a strong belief in the power of collaboration to strengthen campaigns and build lasting impact, and enjoys working closely with partners to align messaging and share knowledge. A confident and creative communicator, Ellen also enjoys writing—whether shaping campaign narratives, sharing research insights, or telling human stories that highlight the value of music.

She holds an MA in Governance and Public Policy and a BA in American Studies, bringing a strong foundation in public affairs and cultural understanding to her work. A lifelong music fan, Ellen is a passionate advocate for the power of music to improve lives, support wellbeing, and help build a more compassionate, connected society.
