I'm Ellie Windham, an ultramarathon runner, coach, and passionate community builder committed to empowering individuals to reach their full potential, both on the road and in life.
With a background in events and program management across tech, corporate, and higher education sectors, I specialize in creating impactful experiences that resonate. Currently, I manage holistic health initiatives at a local university, bringing wellness to the forefront of education.
As the founder of Walking In Other People’s Shoes, I’ve amplified the voices of Women of Color through transformative storytelling and community-building efforts. I’m also an advocate for mental health, inspiring personal growth journeys for women and others seeking change.
My creative endeavors include directing and producing the mini-documentary Girls Run Ultras, which was honored as the featured film at the 2024 Trail Running Film Festival and became a semifinalist at the No Man’s Land Film Festival. As a running coach and co-founder of Asian Women Stay Running (AWSTARS), I’m also an ultramarathoner with Girls Run NYC and a proud member of Asian Trail Mix.
Beyond my professional work, I hold an M.A. in International Education from NYU and a B.A. in International Studies from West Virginia Wesleyan.
I’m here to collaborate with brands and individuals who share a passion for wellness, storytelling, and community-building. Let’s work together to inspire and empower others through meaningful connections and impactful experiences.
