Kellie Ell covers the Australian loan markets for Australian Broker. With a career spanning some of the world's most respected financial and business media outlets — including CNBC, USA Today, Debtwire, WWD and Glamour — she brings a rigorous, well-trained lens to her reporting on the mortgage and lending sector.

Her coverage ranges across interest rate movements, federal budget impacts, property tax reform, lender strategy and the evolving broker channel, giving mortgage professionals, brokers and aggregators the sharp, timely analysis they need to stay ahead. Kellie holds a Master of Journalism from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York and an undergraduate degree in photojournalism from San Francisco State University, a background that informs both the precision and clarity of her storytelling.

How I think about writing for this industry…

“I love writing about finance. As a reporter, my job is to find information before others do. As a writer and editor, my job is to translate complex topics into plain English so everyone can understand.”
