Raised in Brooklyn, Emily is an outgoing and endearingly enthusiastic event producer and photographer who, for much of her childhood, made sure everyone at the playground had someone to play with.
She studied Classical Voice at LaGuardia High School and Acting at Penn State University, with minors in Entrepreneurship & Innovation (New Media Cluster) and French Studies.
After graduation, she moved into community development and marketing within the startup ecosystem, working and consulting for companies like Tribute, Daybreaker, GitHub Education, and more. She later pivoted into events as a way to bring people together and create memorable experiences.
Through her roles at The Lead, Sequence Events, and beyond, she’s managed events end-to-end — from early planning through onsite execution and post-event wrap — building the timelines, run-of-show schedules, vendor trackers, and staffing plans that keep every stakeholder aligned. She’s coordinated closely with vendors, internal teams, and clients, staying a step ahead of problems before they become fires, and brings a calm, proactive presence onsite no matter how many workstreams are moving at once.
But what actually drives her is what happens because of the logistics: the room that comes together, the strangers who leave as friends, the audience that remembers how a night made them feel. Emily is happiest collaborating with creative and account teams to turn an idea into something people actually experience together — she cares as much about the feeling in the room as the run-of-show that got it there.
That same instinct shows up outside of client work, too. In her free time, Emily is deeply embedded in the Brooklyn comedy scene, producing, photographing, and performing in shows — building community one lineup at a time. She’s also an avid crafter and traveler, and the one who ends up planning every group trip.
She currently works as an Event Manager for Vibe.co in New York City.
