Ellen Yang, CPNP

Ellen is originally from Ohio. She attended the Ohio State University for her undergraduate education, where she received her Bachelor’s of Science in Molecular Genetics. Sparked by her desire to combine her interests in biology, nursing, and medicine, she later decided to continue her education and re-entered her alma mater to obtain a Master’s in Nursing, specializing in Pediatrics. Ellen is Board Certified by the National Certification Board of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners. During her training, she discovered her passion for teaching about health, especially nutrition as well as heart-healthy eating and physical activity.

After relocating from the Midwest, Ellen continued to pursue her interest in nutrition and is now one of PAA’s Lactation Educators. She is very thankful to have the daily opportunity to delight in the growth and development of all stages of infancy, childhood, and adolescence, while striving to make a difference in the lives of patients and their families through teaching and empowering them to lead healthier lives. She is currently working on improving her Spanish-speaking abilities as well as her fluency in her second language of Mandarin Chinese. In the future, she hopes to expand her knowledge of other languages as well, in order to even better communicate with her patients.
