Outside the office

Before beginning her career in healthcare marketing, Emily helped design the universal hospital signage symbols now used nationwide—making care navigation easier for patients of all languages and literacy levels.
She also once relearned how to ride a bike in her 30s (proving the old saying wrong), went to youth group with Taylor Swift’s bassist, and has a harmless but slightly eerie ability to voluntarily shake her eyes side-to-side.
