Even if it’s not the perfect decision, you always will land in the right place.
About Emily
- I knew early on that I wanted to work in education and improve how schools support students and teachers.
- In college, I leaned into social studies and policy classes to explore my passion for equity and community.
- I chose a think tank over teaching to research education policy and dive into the systems behind schools.
- I learned to code and analyze data—skills I never imagined loving but used to drive social change.
- When my boss left unexpectedly, I stepped into a new role I didn’t feel ready for and it changed everything.
- I found my fit in philanthropy, helping mission-driven partners scale their impact in education.
- Now in corporate philanthropy, I get to support changemakers and fuel their work with the resources they need.
