Things said about me.

"Emily walks into a room with three ideas and leaves with one everyone wants credit for. She is also very funny, which should count for more than it does."
— Callie Meyers
VP, Brand · Amazon Prime Video
"Best writer I've ever worked with. She can edit a brief in her head and send it back as poetry. Also: unafraid to kill a darling. Mostly mine."
— Jordan Park
ECD · Movement Strategy
"Emily's interviews are the rare kind that the subjects email us about afterward — asking for the transcript. That is the whole job."
— Sam Okonkwo
Senior Editor · Newsweek
