“Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better.”

Maya Angelou

Welcome! I’m so glad that you’ve found me. My name is Emily, and I’ve spent my life experiencing what good leadership can do- and being frustrated when I am a part of systems with poor leadership. This is a space for us to grow together, challenge beliefs, hold each other accountable, and buck behaviors that no longer serve us. I am a wife and dog mom (hello, Harvey and Barbas!), and I find solace in walking the country roads near my home. My day job is as a Public Relations and Employee Engagement Supervisor for a local McDonald’s franchisee, but my secret passion is improving access to quality housing in rural Iowa.
