Emily believes that leadership is a muscle. You’re either strengthening it or letting it atrophy. Her core philosophy is simple: if you think you’re staying the same, you’re probably slipping without realizing it. She brings a sense of urgency, optimism, and clarity to every room she enters.
A seasoned local government leader and consultant, Emily is known for helping teams connect the dots between vision and execution. She blends strategic foresight with real-world practicality, ensuring that big ideas are backed by implementable plans. Whether guiding an organization through strategic planning, facilitating a leadership retreat, or advising on team dynamics, her gift lies in helping people see what’s possible and giving them the tools and confidence to pursue it.
Emily is a straight shooter who values clear communication, collaborative problem-solving, and creating space for others to step into their best selves. She is energetic, thoughtful, and values building trust while moving the needle.
Born and raised in Minnesota, Emily traded snow for sunshine when she came to Florida on a college volleyball scholarship. She’s married with three great kids who humble her daily and remind her why leadership rooted in service and growth matters so much.
