A 2001 graduate with a communication degree from Western Washington University, Emily’s first “real” out of school job was with a Bainbridge Island-based PR firm. She spent six years under former Disney executives and the advance press team for President Reagan learning the ins and outs of PR, building media relationships, scheduling media tours and executing incentive trips and meetings. “It was a great place to be; I worked with an amazing team, learned a lot, went on several incredible “business” trips, and could bring my dog to work every day.”
But along came her dream job… applying her public relations skills to a specialty food company. “It doesn’t get any better than this,” laughed Emily. “This job filled all my requirements; great food and people in a casual, dog friendly environment.”
Emily lives with her husband Curtis, who is also in the food industry, Elliott the cat and Murray the dog (named after Hightower Cellar’s Murray Cuvee) on the Snoqualmie River in North Bend.
In her off time she enjoys cooking, traveling and takes advantage of the beautiful Washington outdoors year around.

Won’t touch: capers or hazelnuts (the quickest way to ruin good chocolate)
