Emily grew up in central Indiana and spent 11 years in Minneapolis, where she met her husband and cultivated her passion for working with people. With 7 years of leadership experience at Whole Foods Market, Emily fine-tuned her customer service expertise, supported team member development, and enhanced operational efficiencies. Her ability to foster collaborative environments and streamline systems laid the foundation for her future work in the birth and wellness community.
After the birth of her first daughter, Emily felt a strong inner calling to support families during the transformational period of pregnancy and parenthood. She began her journey as a birth doula, earned her certification as a lactation counselor, and served as a founding board member of the Twin Cities Doula Project, helping to expand access to doula services for diverse families.
In 2015, Emily and her family moved to Munster, IN, where they live just 30 minutes outside of Chicago. She currently serves as the Administrative Director of Twin Cities Midwifery, where she plays a key role in maintaining practice operations, coordinating events, overseeing client communications, and managing social media and administrative processes. Her dedication ensures the team’s efficiency and a positive, welcoming environment for both staff and clients.
Emily joined the Twin Cities Midwifery (TCM) team as Office Manager in 2018 and later transitioned into her current role as Administrative Director. Over the years, she has played a key role in managing practice operations, maintaining client records, and implementing efficient administrative processes. Her responsibilities include overseeing schedules, coordinating events, managing social media and blog content, tracking practice data, and supporting the team’s overall productivity while fostering a positive and welcoming environment. Emily also helps families navigate the often-complex world of insurance billing, ensuring they feel informed and supported throughout their care journey.
From 2023-2025, Emily also worked at a local birth as Administrative Support Specialist, where she provided comprehensive support to the leadership team and staff. Her work at the birth center further honed her organizational and administrative expertise while expanding her knowledge of collaborative care in larger practice settings.
Emily’s warmth and authenticity create a space where people feel safe to be their truest selves, whether she’s helping a family navigate the logistics of care or supporting team collaborations. Her approach is rooted in kindness, problem-solving, and fostering connections that help others thrive.
Outside of work, Emily enjoys chasing adventures with her three children, spending time outside in the sunshine, relaxing cozy nights, and indulging in anything dark chocolate. Whether she’s soaking up sunshine, solving puzzles, or simply enjoying a quiet moment, she brings the same joy and warmth to her personal life as she does to her work.
