About Emily

Emily's first career in ministry and non-profit work offered her a diverse array of roles, from counselor to teacher, supervisor to assessor, communicator to administrator. However, it was the moments spent sitting across from others, listening to their stories, that truly resonated with her. She finds connecting with

others, in both joy and pain, one of life's greatest gifts. Motivated by a sincere desire to assist others with wisdom and purpose, Emily embarked on her journey back to graduate school. In addition to the role of student, she also finds joy in her role as a wife and mother.
