“I have worked with Emily on a variety of topics for publication. Emily is well versed in topics of consequence, such as climate change, travel, and sustainability. In addition, she has the ability to examine adjacent industries (such as luxury, fashion, and beauty) and bring out the most important ideas that can incentivize the reader not to just reflect but to take action. Emily is extremely prepared for all her assignments. She is courteous, engaging, organized and truly a pleasure to work with.”
