Born and raised in Leawood, Kansas, Ella Anstoetter has been immersed in sports from a young age. She played nearly every sport growing up but found a particular passion for track and field, earning second place in the state high jump during her time at Notre Dame de Sion. Her competitive drive and love for Kansas City sports have always been central to who she is.

After graduating in 2018, Ella went on to attend her dream school, the University of Kansas, where she earned a degree in Marketing from the School of Business and served on the executive board of her sorority, Pi Beta Phi. Whether leading events or planning campaigns, she thrived in collaborative, fast-paced environments that mirrored the team dynamic she loved in sports.

Following graduation, Ella began her career as a Marketing Coordinator at a local architecture firm, where she ran all things marketing and discovered a deep passion for digital storytelling. But her heart remained in the sports world. In 2024, she joined the Kansas City Sports Commission, merging her background in branding with her lifelong enthusiasm for athletics, community, and wellness.

Outside of work, Ella channels her energy into staying active and embracing the outdoors. She plays in a competitive sand volleyball league, loves cooking fresh recipes, and finds joy walking her two labs, Joe Pickle and Callie. A regular at Chiefs tailgates (thanks to her family’s legendary Chiefs bus) she brings the same team spirit and enthusiasm to every part of life. Whether she’s skiing, exploring Kansas City’s restaurant scene, spending time at the lake or farm, or making any casual sport a little too competitive, Ella lives and breathes the KC sports lifestyle.
