Ella Imes

Global Activities Scholars Program

Ella (she/her/hers) was born and grew up in southern Wisconsin. She attended Earlham College for her undergraduate studies and earned a BA in both Spanish and Peace & Global Studies. During her studies, she spent 2 months interning at a refugee camp in central Greece, which drew her to seek out a more praxis-driven approach to the theories she was learning in class. After graduating with college honors Ella worked for a year in wilderness therapy in Clayton, Georgia; there, she combined her passion for the outdoors with supporting folks on the road to recovery. During her MSW Ella hopes to learn community organizing techniques, develop trauma informed care practices, and continue to explore what other cultures and societies can teach her about social work and people.

Over the summer, Ella will have the wonderful opportunity to work with the International Rescue Committee in Dallas, Texas. She will be working in the mental health program with adults and young adults that are newly arrived to the United States.
