Emily is a mom to 2 little boys - ages 1 and 4. She lives with them and her partner-in-crime of 11 years, Elliott, in the northern suburbs. They've lived all over the metro since 2004, toting their happy-go-lucky rescue dog everywhere they go.
Before joining the TCMB team, Emily was an editor and home stager, and worked in the real estate world for 6 years prior to that.
She finds being in the kitchen one of the most relaxing things in the world - aside from being on a tropical beach with a mimosa! She loves any time she gets to spend with her family and friends (who are basically family!), and has terrible obsessions with cookbooks, art, Pinterest, and bath & beauty products.
Those closest to Emily would call her "unconventional," and its a word she has learned to embrace whole-heartedly.
She finds women bonding over their triumphs and struggles to be empowering, and knows we can all benefit from each others' experiences.
