About

Hi, I’m Ellie

Former anthropologist, current nonprofit administrator, enthusiastic about budgeting, avid reader, some-time fermentor, parent to a rambunctious toddler.

Early on

In hindsight, I started EllieTriesThings as an elaborate procrastination device to avoid writing my dissertation. Eventually, I did.

Current

Three years after defending, I am a relatively new parent, an avid reader of sapphic romance, and a highly enthusiastic budgeter.
