About Ella

Ella Reily Knudsen is a public relations professional, social media manager, photographer, and content creator who loves connecting with people. Born in London, she spent her early childhood in the UK before moving to Austin, Texas at age eight, where her once-very-real British accent slowly disappeared (she’s still not over it). Growing up in Austin shaped her creativity, sense of community, and collaborative approach to both work and life.

Ella is currently studying at Texas State University, where she is double majoring in Public Relations and Musical Theatre with minors in Mass Communication and Theatre, and is on track to graduate summa cum laude in May. Her on-campus involvement includes the Public Relations Student Society of America, the Bateman Competition team, and Chi Omega, where she served as Instagram Chair and Social Event Assistant.

Endlessly inspired by travel, Ella has a lifelong goal of visiting every continent—yes, even Antarctica. She finds joy in discovering new places, learning from different cultures, and translating those experiences into meaningful, authentic content.

Ella also has a deep love for capturing moments through photos, videos, and short-form content. She’s often behind the camera, documenting places, people, and everyday details that tell a bigger story. Outside of work, she’s happiest when planning her next trip, editing videos, wandering through new neighborhoods, or trying a cheese she’s never had before. She believes the best work comes from curiosity, heart, and a willingness to explore.
