For 15
years Emily has been committed to the nonprofit sector as employee,
trainer,
board member, philanthropist, and consultant. 
Emily's upbringing included a significant mix philanthropic and
nonprofit exposure which is where her passion for nonprofit work
started.  In college, Emily shifted her focus from a career in Dance to
a full time commitment to the nonprofit sector. Emily's work in ending
violence against women & women's health proved to be an enormous
asset to her as she formally launched her nonprofit work.

Emily began her career working in the field of ending violence against
women more than 10 years ago as a community activist, victim advocate, and
trainer.  After focusing on women’s
health and sexual assault, she became involved in environmental issues, international
human rights, and philanthropy. In 2003 she was awarded the Boulder County
District Attorney’s Victim Advocacy Award.

Emily
currently consults and trains nonprofit organizations in the areas of nonprofit
leadership, resource development, marketing and communications, and board
development. Emily recently completed innovative research, Preparing the Path to Leadership, on emerging leaders within the
nonprofit and philanthropic sectors. 

Emily
understands all that it takes to start a nonprofit and employ best
practices when starting a business; she herself has started a nonprofit
in San Diego, Young Nonprofit Professionals Network San Diego.  She has
quickly been recognized as an expert in a number of areas as a result
of that business venture. Emily and EDA Consulting is constantly
looking to collaboration in effort to leverage the best results and
avoid duplication in the sector. To learn more about EDA Consulting's
