Ellen Bryan is a television host, wellness coach, author, and speaker. You can find her daily on WUSA9 hosting Great Day Washington. Ellen started her career on stage as a motivational speaker, giving speeches from corporate events to the TEDx red circle. In 2019, she published her first book A Work in Progress. It was quickly followed by A Work in Progress Journal to guide people through her empowerment series.
Ellen is a certified health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. She’s also a certified fitness instructor, working with prenatal and postpartum moms. As a new mom herself to a toddler girl and baby boy, she coaches other mothers on their own journey to finding individual, optimal health after giving birth.
She competed in Miss America as Miss Ohio 2011. She walked away as a Quality-of-Life Finalist for her work promoting lightning safety, a platform she chose after a lightning strike paralyzed her sister in 2000. She graduated from Ball State University and started her broadcasting career at ABC 36 in Lexington, Kentucky. She then joined the NBC 5 team in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas before finding a home at WUSA9.
Ellen lives in Washington, DC with her husband, Reese Waters, their two children, and a dog (who misses the quiet days before kids). In this new mom-era, Ellen’s hobbies include laundry, watching Ms Rachel, cutting grapes in half, and wrestling a squirming child into a fresh diaper.
