The One Who Puts SearchLight in the Spotlight
Ellen joined SearchLight in June of 2025 following her graduation from Florida State University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in social work. As our marketing coordinator, she designs all of SearchLight’s printed materials, including advertisements, brochures, and postcards. These responsibilities are a natural fit for Ellen, who is an accomplished artist.
Ellen is also ramping up SearchLight’s presence on social media, and she works on a wide array of other projects related to leasing, listing, and property management. She enjoys the variety and appreciates the relationships she has formed with her colleagues – one of the benefits of working for a smaller firm. And because she works closely with Michelle, whom Ellen describes as an excellent, supportive mentor, she is quickly learning the ins and outs of real estate.
During Ellen’s studies at Florida State, she completed an internship in social work in Edinburgh, Scotland, and spent a summer in Vienna, Austria. As you might assume, she loves to travel internationally. Her other favorite pursuits include outdoor sports and -- as mentioned earlier -- art, which she says is her form of self-expression. She’s explored drawing, painting, sculpture, multimedia, and more.
Ellen’s schedule, both professional and personal, is busy, but she always takes time to bond with her cat, Autumn.
