"I had the pleasure of working with Ellen at the HuddleHive2025 hackathon on Greenovate Hub - a project focused on making green careers more accessible for underrepresented communities. It was her first hackathon, and she came alone, which immediately showed me her courage and passion!

Throughout the event, Ellen's care for finding a solution that truly aligned with the challenge was clear. Her positive energy, openness to feedback, and ability to turn obstacles into opportunities brought fresh ideas and thoughtful questions that kept us grounded in what mattered most. Ellen naturally brought people together with her collaborative mindset, clear communication, and genuine curiosity.

Her adaptability and enthusiasm for learning make her a real asset to any team, and I can easily see her bringing that same thoughtful approach and collaborative energy to whatever role she takes on next."
