Ellen Meny
Ellen Meny is the Interim Executive Producer and Host of Living Local DMV.
In middle school, Ellen put on elaborate theatrical performances for her friends and family. In high school, she performed slam poetry in front of her entire class with zero embarrassment. Her destiny was clear: local television.
Between then and now, Ellen has worked virtually every job in the newsroom for stations across the country. She’s produced and hosted a weekly food show in Eugene, Ore., written about sexual harassment for Vox Media, wrangled a camera while kayaking on the Puget Sound, and won an Emmy for her work as a host and producer in Seattle. If she thinks something will make entertaining TV (including dyeing her hair rainbow), she’s usually game.
Above all, Ellen loves stories: hearing them, telling them, and living them. She’s the author of several short stories, books and essays, and in her spare time, she’s a public speaker for NAMI, using her voice to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health conditions. In her actual spare time, she enjoys running, reading, and eating, although not usually at the same time.
