Emily is a born and raised Portlander and fourth-generation Oregonian who is passionate about supporting small businesses and creating community. She joined the Livelihood NW team in 2012 after graduating from Portland State University with more undergrad business degrees than one reasonably needs. After owning a business in downtown Portland for 7 years taking care of the happiest customers in the world (dogs), Emily sold the company to focus on raising a young family and become a full-time staff member at Livelihood NW.  

As a tech enthusiast, Emily enjoys the opportunity to bring resources to a wider audience through digital channels, while continuing to find new ways to engage with clients in a meaningful way. She currently leads Livelihood NW's marketing and communications and continues to provide one-on-one technical assistance to many of our clients. 

In her free time, Emily enjoys creative projects in music and art, growing unusual produce, spending time with her family and dogs, riding anything with two wheels, and taking on ambitious home improvement projects.
