🎓 She completed her secondary education at "Mustaqbal School," earned a Bachelor’s degree with honors in Communications from the Netanya Academic College, and a Master’s degree with honors in Political Management and Marketing from the multidisciplinary Herzliya Center.

💡 In 2010, she founded the "Shared Life" project, bringing together Arabs and Jews to promote understanding and coexistence. Before joining the army, she worked as a radio presenter at "Voice of Netanya" for two years and gained significant popularity on social media platforms.

⚔️ Ella volunteered at Meir Hospital in 2011, joined the Israeli army in 2013 as the first recruit from the Triangle area, attended the officers’ course in 2015, and received the Distinguished Service Medal from the Israeli president.

She added that she does not care about criticism from Arab followers regarding her army service, describing it as driven by "fear of facing the truth."
