Hi everyone! My name is Ella Ehrlich and I’m a recent graduate from the University of Oregon. At Oregon, I majored in Political Science and Public Relations with minors in Sports Business and Business Administration. Alongside my studies, I also served as Co-President of the National Society of Leadership and Success and as a member of Tri Delta.

During the summer of 2022, I was grateful to work for Everi Holdings Inc, a slot machine company based in Las Vegas, NV. I worked under Courtney Bell, director of gaming operations, as a Gaming Operations Intern. During my time at Everi, I worked with the Gaming Operations team to ensure that business was being run smoothly, collaborated with our VP of Marketing and Communications, Mike Conway, to research slot machine influencers, as well as conducted interviews to find out how the business practices product launches. 

Being from Chicago, I was lucky to be around an amazing sports environment. Growing up, I would go to the United Center to watch the Blackhawks and the Bulls play, attend Cubs games at the historic Wrigley Field, and even traveled to college stadiums like Norte Dame and Michigan’s The Big House. When looking at where I wanted to attend school, one thing was a for sure: I wanted to attend a DI, power five school. After I visited Oregon, I knew I wanted to be a duck. I am so lucky that I get to experience and be part of a school where sports is a big part of the culture. 

I have always aspired to have a career within the sports field. I would love to work for either the NFL or ESPN while living in either New York, Seattle, or Las Vegas. It would be a dream to work within an industry that I not only grew up loving, but also to be an inspiration for women who want to get involved in sports.
