Ella Delaney

Introducing Ella Delaney, a third year B Engineering (Hons) and B Commerce student at the University of New South Wales, where she is also a member of the UNSW Elite Athlete Program, competing in inshore and offshore sailing, predominantly out of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia.

In January 2024, Ella founded AchieveIt Tutoring to provide help to students who wanted to maximise their potential and achieve their academic goals. She now manages a team of 20 tutors who work with students from Y3-12, across both HSC and IB education pathways.

Ella has a personal interest in data modelling and business analysis, particularly in the medical space. She is an advocate involved in the formation of a new complex pain and physical rehabilitation clinic for teens at The Sydney Children's Hospital (Randwick) with a view to expanding the service to clinics in hospitals throughout NSW.

Through her studies, Ella is developing a solid grounding in each of the major disciplines of Engineering whilst recently specialising in her chosen field of Bioinformatics. Bioinformatics engineers create computational methods and software to handle the vast amounts of data generated in life sciences research, gaining insights into biological systems, diseases and developing new drugs and therapies — a skill she plans to incorporate into her Finance major.

Ella was recently appointed co-convenor for the 2026 Youth Health Conference, led by the Australian Association for Adolescent Health.
