WTL Special Series: Enough for All - Ellen Andrews (episode 19)

Ellen Andrews was born-and-raised in Durham, North Carolina and graduated from UNC in 2009 with a degree in psychology, minoring in biology. Always thinking she would go into research, it was only after she spent time volunteering and interning at the Carol Woods Retirement Community that Ellen realized she was best suited to an active, dynamic, interpersonal work environment. She started her work at Church World Service (CWS)  in its refugee resettlement program straight out of college, initially as an employment specialist. After helping more than 100 refugees get jobs that first year, she took a post as a team leader, then a supervisor role overseeing program management responsibilities, moved into a director position with the CWS Durham office in 2014. When I spoke with her in 2021 she was the North Carolina area director and at present she is the Regional Director, US Mid-Atlantic.
