Mrs. Lisa Ellstrom

Subject Area(s)Early Childhood I and II

MHS Activities: FCCLA-Family Career and Community Leaders of America

Started at Millbrook: 2001

I was born and raised in Raleigh, NC. I have always enjoyed teaching and caring for children. During college and upon graduation from ECU, I worked in the child care industry. After about 4 years with other centers, my family and I decided to branch out with our own child care. For the next 15 years, I was owner/operator of 2 child care centers in Raleigh. In 2001, I joined the Millbrook family and began the Early Childhood program here. It is my passion and love. Time with my students in class and as the FCCLA club adviser is why I teach. Each day is a new adventure. Teenagers make scream and at the same time laugh and smile!! I love seeing them grow into young adults. Building life-long relationships with my students is my joy.

Started at Millbrook: Aug. 2019
 
I received my BFA at Savannah College of Art & Design in Film & Television in 2009.  I then worked in the film industry filming various independent tv shows and films.  In 2013, I began teaching Art to kids from K-8 in New York.  I began teaching Digital Art at Stony Brook University and later graduated with a MFA in Studio Art there as well.  In 2018, I moved to North Carolina to teach Digital Media and later received my CTE teaching certification. 
 
I love art, food, and movies.  I like to attend the "First Fridays" art shows in downtown Raleigh, and I'm a regular at the NCMA.  I also enjoy movies and comics and have attended the New York Comic Con four times.  Feel free to show me any of your sketchbook drawings or things you're designing on your computer.  I'd love to see them!

Hey! I'm so excited for my first year teaching Apparel and Foods here at Millbrook! I've worked in education for 5 years, mostly in an elementary classroom setting. My educational background and life's passion is fashion retail merchandising and management. I enjoy reading, cooking, watching fashion design videos and spending time with my beautiful family. I'm also a comic book and gamer nerd (Marvel over DC). When I'm not teaching or spending time with family, I'm flipping through the latest issues of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar or Elle magazines. I have a passion for teaching my students all there is to know about the apparel and textile industries and I look forward to having an amazing school year!

Started at Millbrook: 2004

I grew up in Thomasville, NC, the small town with the “Big Chair” & the birthplace of the internationally loved Thomasville Furniture. When I’m not chasing my son around, I like to binge-watch “The Walking Dead” and basically all documentaries on Netflix. I am a lover (& killer) of succulent plants and I enjoy any type of DIY home project. Additional spare time activities for me include searching for new recipes, cheering on UNC Tarheels football & basketball teams, & reading.
