Emily has called Big Sky home for over 2 years. She loves the privilege of calling the mountains home and cares for the community and relationships she has forged in this small resort town.
Emily grew up in the suburbs of New Jersey and attended CUNY Hunter College in New York City where she pursued a degree in sociology. During college, Emily began interning for Movement for Justice in El Barrio, a community-based organization in East Harlem that empowers and provides resources to the low-income community, primarily single mothers and their families. She worked for the nonprofit on and off for 5 years, she is grateful for the knowledge and grassroots work the women of East Harlem provided her with and hopes to apply that knowledge at BBBS.
Emily nannied throughout college and recently worked at Morningstar Learning Center in Big Sky, where she became interested in early childhood development and teaching. After assisting young children and babies realize their milestones, she hopes to support the youth of Big Sky realize their full potential and ultimately thrive.
Emily is excited to bring her experience and gain more knowledge at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Big Sky Country. As program manager of Big Sky, she aspires to provide enriching, positive, and long-lasting effects to the Bigs, Littles, and their families.
When she isn't working, Emily is finding a way to get outside and enjoy what the wilderness has to offer with her partner and two dogs.
