A little introduction…

I didn’t know the best way to introduce myself, so I found an old email of questions that should give a little insight…

1. What is your first name?
Ella: I was named after my great grandmother; I have always gone by my middle name, Ashley, until recently I began going by Ella at work. My office only has 8 people in it, one of which was already named Ashley, so I was encouraged to go by my first name to prevent confusion :)
 
2. What is your favorite food?
Pancakes and Ice Cream
 
3. What high school did you go to?
Broome High School, Spartanburg, SC
 
4. What is your favorite color(s)?
I would say black and blue
 
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
John Krasinski
 
6. Favorite drink?
Alcoholic? Nilla Killa (see below for recipe… YUMMMM)
1 oz. cream of coconut
1 oz. orange juice
4 oz. pineapple juice
2 oz. vanilla rum
Mix all ingredients together, pour over ice and top with freshly grated nutmeg.
 
Non-Alcoholic? Diet Rite
 
7. Dream vacation?
To travel around Europe with friends
 
8. Favorite dessert?
Oh goodness- Anyone who knows me knows I’d rather have dessert than a meal, so there is no way I could pick just one… here are a few of my favorites: Publix birthday cake (white/yellow cake with butter cream frosting); Cookies and cream ice cream; cheesecake
 
9. What do you want to be when you grow up?
Wow… well I must say that I really love my current job (housing coordinator and fundraiser for a local HIV care program) and feel pretty lucky to have that feeling with my first real job after graduate school. Ultimately, I have always wanted to help those who are less fortunate, so no matter where or in what capacity, I want to help people.
 
10. What do you love most in life?
Family and friends
 
11. One Word to describe you.
