What my clients say about working together
"Emma is an invaluable asset to every team, organization, or project that she is a part of. She brings vision, strategy, and incredible depth in organizing projects, developing core outcomes, and delivering results driven and highly impactful work. She leads with a whole heart rooted in liberation and driven by processes that center care and equity. At the beginning of a project or amidst a complete shift in strategic vision, Emma has both an innate and unique ability to simplify, articulate, and execute a strategy for moving critical projects and work forward. She has many tools in her toolbox and is one of the smartest and incredibly insightful individuals I've ever worked with."
— Steph Imah, Movement Strategy Center
“Emma is one of the most capable and versatile people I’ve ever worked with. She is driven by a passion for justice and always operates with complete integrity. She sees the big picture and can lead visionary and strategic conversations. Unlike many, she can then also move that into tactical work, ensuring that things get done on time, within budget, and aligned with values. She’s a fantastic relationship builder, treating everyone with respect and warmth, which leads to effective collaboration and project management, and often new friends. Whether your work is policy advocacy, communications, or organizational strategy, I would highly recommend working with Emma!”
— Erin Kilmer Neel, Beneficial State Foundation
“What impressed me most about Emma is her ability to ensure clarity in not only what we needed to communicate, but also in the processes that created those communication outputs. She had well-developed plans in place from the outset that helped us anticipate potential issues and address them without impacting deadlines. Overall, I would definitely recommend Emma to anyone in need of expert communication advice and support. ”
