I had the privilege of working alongside and then managing Emily at Year Up Bay Area. Emily joined Year Up via a fellowship program and made herself such a strong asset that she was hired for a full-time permanent role in which she thrived. Emily has an incredible work ethic-she is completely dependable, thorough and committed to the task at hand, and she always produces high quality results. The support she offered our alumni was unconditional and unparalleled, and her passion for her work showed everyday. Emily deeply influenced the way Year Up supports our interns and alumni and I am confident that she will make positive change wherever she goes.
