Emily earned her Bachelors in Communication Studies in 2016 and MA in Political Science in 2023, both from Appalachian State University. After moving to the triangle in 2024, she worked at a nonprofit advocating for environmental protections before coming to the Academic Success Center. With a background in working for her Alma Mater, Emily is passionate about supporting students and excited to be back in a University setting.

In her free time Emily enjoys taking walks in nature, spending time with her very chatty cat, traveling, and reading.
