Ella aims to use her interest in Computer Science and Political Science to tackle pressing social issues. Ella is a member and data science researcher at Datakata, a machine learning and predictive solutions company. She also serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the Purple America Initiative, a student-led movement against political polarization.
