Ellen Ross

Licensed and Registered Service Assistant


“Focus on what you can control.”

I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design, graduating at the top of my class. My early career in creative work, event planning, and hospitality taught me how to truly care for people and create thoughtful, meaningful experiences. After a personal loss in 2023, I found myself looking for work that felt more purposeful and impactful, which ultimately led me to financial protection and planning.

I joined New York Life in 2024 and quickly found a career I genuinely love, becoming a Registered Representative and achieving Executive Council Agent recognition in my first year. I then transitioned to becoming a staff member of The Path Financial Strategies. I’m a natural problem solver who enjoys helping individuals and families feel confident and empowered in their retirement and estate plans—understanding where they are today and thoughtfully guiding them toward what’s next. I’m currently taking graduate-level coursework in the financial field to enhance my knowledge and expertise, and believe deeply in continued learning so I can show up fully for the people I serve.

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