Originally from North Carolina, Emily attended UNC-Chapel Hill and graduated with a B.A. in History and Journalism. Upon graduation, she moved to Colorado to work in Denver Public Schools as a student mentor and advocate. Her experience working with Colorado youth deepened her passion for educational opportunity and community empowerment, so she is thrilled to join the team at Greenhouse Scholars. In her free time, Emily enjoys hiking, skiing, playing pickleball, and cooking for her family and friends.
