Ely Torres

Ely Torres was born and raised in Chicago, and attended NIU for Journalism. After college, she got swept up in the nightlife industry as a bartender and then as a booking agent, booking all the live music for a local venue. She stayed in the industry for 7 years, and made the transition from booking agent to marketing content writer for a marketing agency that represents independent artists. A couple of years of writing marketing copy gave Ely the itch to write creatively again. Her next role as Editor-in-Chief and Features Contributor for College Underground Magazine allowed her to fall in love with writing again. After a year stint with the magazine, she began writing about dating and relationships for dating advice websites and eventually, for her own dating site, Love After Cheating.

Realizing she was getting a lot of messages asking for advice, she knew she needed to learn more about relationships and she took several courses in order to become a Certified Relationship Coach.

Ely now gives advice online to strangers and offline to friends and family. She still resides in Chicago with her husband, their two kids and furbaby.
