Emily first got involved in The Wildlife Society in undergrad, where she planned the University of Florida student chapter’s annual fundraiser, the Beast Feast. In the 17 years since, she has been involved in multiple TWS working groups and committees, is a member of the 2018 cohort of The Leadership Institute, and created the Early Career Professional Working Group’s Professional Development Grant in her tenure as Chair. Emily’s PhD research studies the within- and between-year movements of America’s favorite songbird, the American Robin. When she’s not spying on the secret lives of robins, Emily loves a good story, perfecting the flakiest biscuit, going out on a kayak, birding, and traveling to experience new places, foods, and cultures.
