She worked in the nursery school at the JCC in New Jersey before moving, in 1989, to Maryland with her husband Corey and two children, David and Lindsay. Ellen has been a member of the Temple Beth Ami staff, in the Dalet classes, since 1993. Since both of her children are grown, she relishes the time she spends nurturing and caring for TBANS children. In her free time Ellen enjoys spending time with her grandchildren, reading, taking walks and playing Mahjong.
