My name is Ellie Poulin and I’m a native of Portland, Oregon, but I’ve made Burbank my home over the last three years while I’ve been studying graphic design at Woodbury University. I’ve always loved to read and write, and felt a deep connection to nature. Over the last year and a half I’ve found a love of gardening through reviving my school’s community garden; in February I also revived the Student Sustainability Council on campus, where my friends and I have been working to bring sustainability (and houseplants) to our fellow students! I love to write, especially outside of class assignments where I can exercise my style and creativity.
