Often referred to as The Shining Child Star, she was discovered in 2004 when she participated as a contestant in Little Miss Philippines, a pageant for young girls held annually on Eat Bulaga!
Although she failed to win the said contest, she was able to parlay her newfound fame by appearing in several drama series and soap operas like Majika and Atlantika, but it was through her role as Tin-Tin on Super Twins that brought her greater fame among mainstream showbiz audiences. She became an artist of ABS-CBN since 2007 after joining the hit kiddie show Goin Bulilit. In 2010 she returned on GMA Network[1] to do her first time villain role. she is also a host of Tropang Potchi. After the not-so-successful Panday Kids, Ella got a bigger role via TV5's Inday Wanda as Toni. She also appeared again on MMK last September 11, once again proving that she is among the best young actresses of this generation.
On November 29, 2008, She won her first acting award when the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences Awards or F.A.M.A.S cited her as the Best Child Actress for the movie Resiklo.
