Ellie Hutchings
Ellie is GoodtoKnow’s Family News Editor, having joined the team as a Junior Features Writer in 2022. Day-to-day, she covers everything from family wellbeing and relationship advice to hacks for busy families, and is no stranger to writing about the latest in the parenting world - Ellie can tell you just about every baby name that's trending, and that's not.
After setting her sights on a career in journalism as a teenager, Ellie started off as an intern at a local entertainment magazine where she wrote reviews and features, and interviewed one or two famous faces (Jason Donovan was a career highlight!). Following a year out of education, which consisted of writing, waitressing and travelling all over the world, Ellie started her undergraduate degree in Journalism at Cardiff University. She got stuck into student life, joining the netball team, radio station and, of course, the magazine, and graduated with a first-class degree and an award for the highest achieving student on her course. Since then, she’s achieved a Master’s in Magazine Journalism at Nottingham Trent University and a Gold Standard NCTJ Diploma. Previously, Ellie has worked with BBC Good Food, The Big Issue and the Nottingham Post, while continuing to freelance as an arts and entertainment writer. When she’s not got her nose in a book, you’ll probably find Ellie jogging around her local park, indulging in an insta-worthy restaurant, or watching Netflix’s newest true crime documentary.
