About
Helena “Ellie” Huizenga is a writer passionate about how community and storytelling create meaningful change. As a Contributing Writer for Circle, she explores how online communities foster collaboration and drive impactful learning. She believes the best communities don’t just gather people; they empower them. Previously, she worked as a writer and content marketing manager at Zapier, helping millions of readers navigate automation and productivity.
Her love for community is deeply personal, shaped by the environmental groups she’s a part of, her book clubs that spark meaningful conversations, and her friends who offer support through life’s biggest challenges. When she’s not writing, Ellie is chasing after her two-year-old, skiing in the mountains, or reading a new book with her cat.
