Ellona was accepted by her parents to Barbizon Modeling School for vocational education (2005–2006) in San Francisco, California, as years passed. In December 2006, she appeared at the IPAAC Convention (International Performing Arts Academy) and was named Best in Talent (International Performing Arts Academy).

Miriam Pantig, also an International Singer-Actress, was Ellona's top vocal coach.
Ellona is a member of Our Lady of Good Counsel Children's Church Choir in San Leandro, California. Other than speaking out, she is also a teen advocate for Project Resoled, a non-profit group whose primary aim is to provide refurbished children's shoes to improve the mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing of impoverished children in developing nations like the Philippines. Since Ellona's involvement in 2012 with the group, it has raised more money and people interested in the program.
