Emily is currently attending Viterbo University seeking a master's in mental health counseling (graduating in May 2023, Yay!). Along with her education, Emily has worked in the mental health field for the past 3.5 years working with children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. Emily’s professional interests are navigating interpersonal relationships, LGBTQ+ identities, racial and social injustices, holistic wellness, and mental health challenges associated with reproductive health.

Emily went to high school in Marshall, Minn., but considers herself a Wisconsinite as she spent her childhood in Whitewater. She and her partner are a “Viterbo power couple” and are expanding their family by four paws this fall. Emily loves being outdoors, playing Sims, and will always be a theatre kid at heart.
