Emily joined the Outdoor Adventure Center in 2015, helping to create the initial program options for the public and school groups. Emily has worked with youth in the outdoors for over 15 years, serving a variety of organizations including the YMCA, US Fish & Wildlife Service, Girl Scouts and many more. Everywhere she goes, Emily is dedicated to connecting folks of all ages to the outdoors.

As a Team Leader for AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC), Emily worked directly with state, local and federal agencies as well as local community groups on projects along the West Coast. She maintained her connection to NCCC, becoming a host to several NCCC teams at the Howell Nature Center.

Emily and her young family regularly visit the Detroit Riverfront. She is excited to actively work to protect the river that has been the backdrop for so many of her family’s adventures.
