Bio

Emily was the Product Manager of a large project we worked on together. The energy and excitement she brings to a project are fantastic, and I enjoyed collaborating with her. Whether it be changing requirements or scope creep, Emily was on top of it and made sure to communicate changes and their impacts on the team and all stakeholders. She strives to ensure that whatever project she's managing is a success and that users always come first. It's been a pleasure working with Emily. Any organization will be lucky to have her energy and drive on their team.

Emily is an outstanding communicator. I've worked with Emily on a couple of product launches at Checkfront. Since we never had a product marketer, I really appreciated Emily's ability to bridge the gap between product and marketing. She explained everything in detail, not just about the intricacies of the new product, update, or improvement, but also about how it directly benefited our diverse customer base, which made it super easy to package for promotion. And if I ever needed more clarification, she was always quick to answer my questions. Emily would make an excellent addition to any product team.
