By her senior year in high school, Ellie Martin Cliffe was completely enamored of journalism, so she chose the most logical college major possible: anthropology. Disappointed by the minimal emphasis on writing and editing, she changed venues and earned a comm degree from Carroll College.
Ellie has since tackled many facets of the field: radio broadcasting, corporate communications, advertising and, finally, magazine and Web journalism at The Knot. Ellie now works full time in book publishing, and is thrilled to get her wedding fix with WedInMilwaukee.com powered by OnMilwaukee.com. When she isn't wielding her (red) pen, Ellie can be found in the garden, at any concert that showcases a fiddle, playing pub trivia or in the kitchen. She and her husband live in Metro Milwaukee with their hedgehog, Guinness, and grapefruit tree, Sprout.
