Meet the Founder
Why Ella Built Prentice
"Education… beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men."
– Horace Mann
I grew up in a family where education was everything. My mom raised us largely on her own, and she always made sure we had access to opportunities, even when they were hard to find. My late father attended Columbia at 16, and he passed down a belief that education should open doors and reduce stress, not create more of it.
That philosophy shaped my path too. I went on to attend Columbia myself, and I have spent years helping students and families find meaningful internships, research programs, and academic opportunities.
I created Prentice because I want every family, no matter their background, connections, or how familiar they are with the process, to have access to clear, trustworthy guidance.
