After studying international business and Spanish at the University of Georgia and taking classes abroad in Innsbruck Austria, Ellie turned her personal and educational interests into a professional career when she began working for Brownell Travel after graduating. Here, Ellie gained invaluable experience as a Travel and Sales Coordinator, working briefly under Beth Flowers before rejoining her at Flowers Travel Consultants shortly after its launch.

In her current role, Ellie brings a thorough approach to her work, balancing attention to detail in a fast-paced environment while nurturing her current and potential relationships with clients, suppliers, and partners. While the opportunity for growth and the pursuit of worldly knowledge inspires her work, Ellie most enjoys the relationships, worldwide friendships, and global connections made within her role.

As the daughter and granddaughter of Brownell clients, Ellie’s passion for travel began at a young age, drawing inspiration from her family’s experiences and eventually her own international and stateside journeys. Whether it be an annual family trip to the beach or a milestone “bucket list” destination, Ellie’s favorite memories are from her travels, and the ability to create such memories for her clients is a source of daily inspiration.
