Ellyssa Polley is a college student currently attending college for her BFA Theatre degree in Design and Technology. While continuing design work at her university, Southeast Missouri State University at Dobbins Conservatory of Theatre and Dance, she has also been drawing and writing her own works in her spare time. Ellyssa is earning her degree so that she can one day open up her own theatre, and possibly agency of her own. She aims to do so abroad, in the small, but majorly impactful, country of South Korea.

Ellyssa is the self-published author of Dance My Memories Away, an ongoing fantasy book series set in a steam punk world. She hopes to be able to turn the story and all of it's progress into both a vertical scroll comic, and in a visual form as well, be that a drama, movie, or stage production.

Ellyssa was accepted into a study abroad internship program to work with GPJ Korea, a marketing and entertainment company. Through many struggles, she hopes to make the trip, and experience new things, and learn even more to improve her work, skills, and understanding of Korean culture and language.
