Ellen Ross

Licensed and Registered Service Assistant


“Focus on what you can control.”

Elle is a registered professional who is dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate important financial decisions with confidence and clarity. She enjoys building meaningful relationships with clients, taking the time to understand where they are today and what they hope to accomplish in the future. With a thoughtful, solutions-focused approach, Elle is passionate about helping clients feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout their financial journey.

Drawing from her background in creative work, event planning, and hospitality, Elle brings exceptional attention to detail, strong communication skills, and a genuine commitment to serving others. She believes every client deserves personalized guidance and works collaboratively with the advisors and service team at THE PATH Financial Strategies to provide a seamless, high-touch experience. Whether assisting with retirement planning, estate planning, or other financial protection strategies, Elle is committed to helping clients move forward with confidence and peace of mind.

Background and Education

Elle graduated at the top of her class from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Design. She began her professional career in creative services, event planning, and hospitality, where she developed a passion for creating meaningful experiences and caring for people through every interaction.

Following a personal loss in 2023, Elle felt called to pursue a career focused on making a lasting difference in the lives of others. She joined New York Life in 2024, becoming a Registered Representative and earning Executive Council recognition during her first year with the company.* She now serves as a staff member with THE PATH Financial Strategies and is committed to continually expanding her knowledge through graduate-level coursework in financial planning to better serve clients and their families.

*Council is an annual company recognition program based on agent production from July 1 through June 30.


Ellen's Personal Bio

Outside of work, Elle enjoys spending time with family and friends, exploring creative projects, and finding inspiration through design and the outdoors. She appreciates opportunities to slow down, connect with the people she loves, and create meaningful experiences—whether that's traveling, trying a new restaurant, or simply enjoying a quiet evening together.

She believes life's most memorable moments are often found in the everyday, and she brings that same appreciation for relationships, intentionality, and service to the clients she has the privilege of supporting each day.
