Alumni Spotlight on Ellen Langas and Girls Know How


"When I was young, there were so many careers I dreamed of, but I couldn’t imagine how to turn those dreams into reality."

Ellen Langas drew on her own experience in looking for role models when she decided to create Girls Know How®, a multi-faceted project dedicated to helping girls follow their dreams, explore career opportunities, and access tools to help them along their journey.

Girls Know How® is a Division of Kids Know How®, also Ellen's company and part of her NouSoma Communications, Inc. Prior to launching Nousoma (the union of the Greek words for body and mind) in 1995, she was an officer of billion-dollar QVC, Inc., where she gained national visibility as a popular on-air host. She also is an accomplished commercial actress and voice-over talent.

With her busy schedule as business owner, author, spokesperson, and Mom, we are thrilled that she had a few minutes to spend with us. Please welcome Ellen Langas to the Spotlight.
