Hi, I'm Emily.
Currently based in Austin, Texas, I've worked across various industries and business segments leading a variety of people and teams.
My superpower is people, networking, and making connections. I nerd out about processes, automations, science, and innovation. My secret sauce is understanding the top-down (or bottom-up) impacts changes made within an organization will have on current happenings.
I strive for constant learning, curiosity, and leveraging technology for the betterment of the organization.
Passion for people, equity, curiosity, technology, and how things work.
