Ella Baker Puttini

My name is Ella Baker-Puttini and I am a Junior at Concord Carlisle. I've grown up in a Swiss-American household speaking both Italian and English, which brought about my fascination with language, culture, and business. I am a teen owner of a small chocolate business, blog, and Instagram page, and these things are what I have used to bridge the gap between the two worlds I navigate: my life in Europe and my life here in the U.S.. I am a strong believer that as a teen I am subject to responsibility for my own education, my own self-enrichment, and for taking the opportunities presented along the way. I hope I can inspire other teens to do the same and help ease the stigma of struggle: it’s okay not to be okay.
