Hailing from the charming town of McPherson, Kansas, Ellea Ediger has always been driven by a desire to help others build confidence and hope in their futures. She began gaining hands-on financial planning experience while interning with a CPA firm’s Wealth Management department throughout college. Ellea graduated magna cum laude from Fort Hays State University with a degree in Finance and went on to earn her CFP® certification in December 2024.

Ellea joined Legacy Financial Strategies in January 2025, bringing energy, thoughtfulness, and a commitment to delivering an exceptional client experience. A planner at heart, she enjoys walking alongside clients as they navigate important financial decisions and takes pride in building efficient, innovative processes that help everything run smoothly behind the scenes.

Outside the office, Ellea enjoys staying active and embracing friendly competition. A former NCAA tennis player, she now spends her time lifting weights, running, and playing pickleball. She also loves exploring the outdoors and training her and her fiancé’s hunting dog, Buck.

With a strong foundation in financial planning, an eye for detail, and a positive, client-first mindset, Ellea is passionate about learning each client’s unique goals and creating thoughtful strategies to help turn them into reality.
