Emily joined ORS in 2017 with five years’ experience in Office Administration, Executive Assistance and Operational Support for fast paced, highly collaborative, non-profit and private sector offices. She has an eye for the details and thrives off communication and collaboration while utilizing humor and organization most often. Banking and retail experience also cemented the understanding and application of consistent customer service approaches steeped in quality. Emily loves the transformation process of a re-organization project, logistics of a large annual event or simply providing a delicious meal for a staff meeting.

Emily holds a Bachelor’s degree in International Area Studies (Latin America) from Saint Mary’s College of California where she also minored in Spanish and Anthropology. She had the opportunity to spend a semester in Cuernavaca, Mexico attending the Universidad Internacional – Center for Linguistic and Multicultural Studies. These educational experiences propelled her desire to effect social change within the lens of equity and undoing institutional racism at the local, community level (Seattle) as well as for our global community. Joining the ORS Impact team is a solid step on this journey.

In her free time, Emily enjoys exploring new adventures with her family. Some passions include cooking up a new recipe, finding treasures at the flea market, hiking the beautiful parks throughout Seattle and spending time with family and friends.
