Nothing Can Stop Ellen

We are happy to have Ellen Becker at The Maile School. She is a very unique, eccentric, and compassionate young woman who’s currently on the up rise with life.

Growing up near Youngstown, Ohio with plans to attend college and play softball Ellen’s life took a 360° turn. At age 18, a few weeks before college she was in a devastating car accident. With doctors predicting the worst “if” she would wake up from her coma. 3 weeks later, by the grace of god, she woke up and healed from a traumatic brain injury while still paralyzed from the chest down.

After deciding to move to Florida with her mom to attend an exercise based recovery program, she has pushed herself to accomplish much more. 7 years later she is working hard to achieve independence, get back on her feet, and live life.

While continuously focusing on healing herself Ellen is very in-tune with her mind, body, & spirit. Enjoying things like, writing, painting, gardening, and listening to music.

Ellen is here at The Maile School working on breaking into the industry in modeling and commercials. She is working with Maile School instructor Leeza Perez.

While recently accomplishing goals like getting a part-time job and a vehicle adapted for her to independently drive. Her goals in life are a bit more intense like, “changing hearts & lives”. Ellen plans on using modeling as the start of a platform to put her radiant heart and “one of a kind” look, smile, and story to help not only herself but inspire others.

We are so happy to help Ellen work toward her goals.
Nothing can stop her!
Go Ellen!!

Maile Star Grad: Josie Pantoja

 At the age of two, Josie grabbed an open mic during a family birthday party and put on a show! This 12-year-old triple threat has been singing, acting, and dancing ever since.

Josie keeps a busy schedule, balancing Honor Roll academics while singing at local festivals, such as, The Kids and Family Expo, The Back to School Music Festival and she will be performing in November at The Festival of Trees as well as other venues throughout the year. In addition she performs in two theater performances a year, whilst also taking acting, voice and dance classes.

Josie’s love for performing has rewarded her with a trip to California to represent Team USA at the World Championship of Performing Arts, an upcoming trip to Atlanta to sing at The Child Model Magazine Summer Fashion Parade, an appearance in an Universal Studios commercial, an acting role in the soon to be released anti-bullying film “AMRAK” (which will be shown at The Urban Film Festival at Universal Studios this November), and the opportunity to participate in classes and workshops at the Maile Studio due to her winning Maile School annual Talent Show!

Josie chose to be homeschooled this year to pursue auditions and other opportunities. This choice has already proven to be worthwhile, as she has been selected for a key role at the Orlando Repertory Theater’s musical performance of “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”.

Marisol, Josies mom says, “Thank you to Maile’s for the acting classes and workshops Josie has attended. They have helped Josie build confidence and improve her ability to express herself in her day-to-day life. Maile’s has taught her to believe in her talent and that she can do anything she puts her mind to!”
