Ellen Howe
Recovery Coach, Mill Spring/Tryon Graduate Program

Ellen is already in her third job at CooperRiis.  She started as a Lodge Advisor.  From there she moved to Tryon as a House Advisor and now has “graduated” into her current position as Recovery Coach, working closely with Ines Wullimann, Program Manager.

She is a “people person” and her chosen career path is in the nonprofit sector where she can make a difference.  She volunteered previously for Heifer International in Arkansas, her home state.

Last summer she was one of the initiators and organizers of the first annual CooperRiis Homemade Boat Race.  You will often find Ellen swimming, hiking, or doing yoga with residents.

Ellen is a graduate of The University of Central Arkansas and has been accepted to the Social Work Program at UNC in the fall of 2007.
