Ellery Bergman Chudnow was awarded a Fulbright fellowship to pursue a Master's in Disaster Management at Tel Aviv University. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Delaware with an Honors Bachelor of Science in Health Behavior Science and minors in Global Health and Business Administration, earning the Emma Pusey Warner Award for outstanding senior of the Class of 2026.

At the University of Delaware Ellery collaborated with public health professionals to help shape Delaware's State Health Improvement Plan, and co-authored a Case Study Guide for Educators with the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network — a resource helping teachers across 80 countries bring the UN's Sustainable Development Goals into the classroom. She led non-Jewish student leaders on a fact-finding trip to Israel to build dialogue and allyship, developed a new electronic health record system as a Cybersecurity Scholar, and interned at Mount Sinai West Hospital planning a new neurosciences facility.

Israel has been a global innovator in emergency response, having built its infrastructure managing mass trauma and public health crises. Ellery plans to bring lessons and partnerships from Israel back to New York City, leading initiatives that make emergency response faster, more equitable, and community-centered.
