Hi, I’m Ella Ostrikoff. I am living in Victoria and am completing my second year of UVic’s BCom program with interest in entrepreneurship and marketing.
.
I’m from Nanaimo, so you could say the west coast lifestyle is something that is engraved in my day to day. Hiking, rock climbing, diving, and skiing are just a few of the ways I get outside. I am most passionate about surfing, which is probably the main reason I chose to go to UVic due to the accessibility. With all the time I like to spend outside, I naturally gravitated to taking photos of all the beautiful places I visit; that’s why I have taken up a passion for photography.
I work remotely for UVic’s Marketing department as a marketing assistant and a social media ambassador. I also have my marketing and photography entrepreneur venture for the last few years, www.ellaostrikoff.com . I am passionate about the digital realm and where technological advancements will take us, not even this next decade but in the next few years. Some of these technologies’ capacity should make you rethink the world we know today.
Here are a few fun facts…
- I love black labs and will be getting one after university.
- I am very extroverted and love meeting new people.
- I am learning how to play the ukulele (I found out I am not musically inclined)
- My favourite band is Milky Chance. I have seen them three times in person and caught the guitar pick thrown into the crowd.
Nether the less, you could say I am passionate about the things I love and will continue to create the life I want around them.
Excited about this upcoming semester!
