Two truths and a lie:

• Emily mastered Chopin’s Minute Waltz through classical piano lessons.

• Emily provided tissues for famous actor Sean Penn's runny nose during his St. Patrick's Day stay at the Westin St. Francis hotel in San Francisco, CA.

• Emily is good at Frisbee.

And, there's more. As a somewhat young person striving to find the perfect work-life balance, Emily spends her professional life at Google as a program manager making the magic happen behind the scenes of marketing campaigns. The other portion of her time is spent reveling in the out-of-doors.

Nature.

Picnics.

Vanlife.

But, finding that balance isn't easy, of course. The breakdown goes something like this: 90% work, 50% love of food, 15% volunteerism, 30% exploring the arts, 5% hugs and handshakes, 20% wine drinking, and 0% math.

Emily was raised in a mid-century Eichler in the San Mateo Highlands; the Bay Area home for which her parents' paid a small penny in the 1980s. The retro charm of that intimate and naturally-lit, single-story home contributed heartily to her warm character. Like a neighborhood kid, she still loves lawn games, bike riding, hiking, crossword puzzles, and reading crime fiction. In both work and play, she loves gathering with people. Often with wine. Girl loves wine.

She also LOVES to travel and meet new people, and she rarely forgets a face.

Emily and husband Drew moved themselves and their two small roommates, Enzo and Gigi, from San Francisco to Sebastopol, CA in 2022. Some day, she'll become successful enough to have an actual third person write her bio.
