In addition to athletics, she is involved in National Honor Society, Student Council, Volunteer Club, Breakfast Club, and FFA. Outside of school, Ellianna is highly involved in 4-H and her youth group. She serves as a Minnesota 4-H Animal Science Ambassador and Mille Lacs County 4-H Ambassador, and is a member of the National Junior Swine Association, where she helps run a small show swine operation with her brother. To Ellianna, agriculture is more than an industry. It is a platform for education, inclusion, and service.
