Ellie Marie New

Summary

Hey, my name is Ellie Marie New! Have you heard of the phrase “good things come in small packages?” Well that pretty much sums me up. Due to a rare disability (Freeman Sheldon Syndrome) I’ve had from birth, I might appear small in person, but I have a huge heart, a desire to work hard and a willingness to learn something new everyday.
