Ce vă inspiră în viață? 

Emily takes inspiration from her grandmother’s life of service to her community. Her grandmother’s graciousness and charitable spirit has had a profound impact on her approach to life. For her entire life, Emily’s grandmother has regularly volunteered and held active positions in her church. During the holidays, she distributes care packages to the unhoused and donates to charities under the names of her family. Her contagious devotion to making the world a better place has carried Emily through her career.

Ce înseamnă protejarea copilăriei: 

Protejarea copilăriei înseamnă că copiii pot crește într-un mediu sigur și hrănitor, cu dragoste, îndrumare și spațiu pentru a învăța și a se juca.

Memoria preferată a copilăriei:  

Emily’s fondest memories as a child are of drawing and learning to sew with her mom. Having grown up with many siblings in a busy household, she cherishes the times her mom could take a moment to sit with her and encourage her creativity.
