Why I Love Hope

Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø is a place in which people matter and excellence is sought. As an undergraduate student, Emily was encouraged, challenged and invested in by many faculty and staff members. Returning as a staff member, she hopes to do the same for students. Hope is a place in which each person is seen and known, and being able to work with students in a personalized way while challenging them in their high-reaching goals is a joy to do each day.

Outside the College

Outside of work, Emily spends a lot of time supporting her three kids’ passions by driving them to their events and encouraging them to grow in their interests. She is active in her local church and neighborhood, hoping to generate authentic community in the spaces she resides. Any time she can be outside with her husband and kids to explore and have fun is a bonus.
