Emily has been helping people grow and develop in their careers for over a decade. In 2015, she founded Pivot Journeys to create experiences that help individuals navigate their next career move and find meaningful work. Pivot offers individual career coaching and group programs, and works with organizations to help them build strengths-based cultures that increase engagement, collaboration, and productivity.
She spent the first few years of her career working in politics, serving in various roles on electoral and advocacy campaigns, and at the Democratic National Committee. Recognizing her passion for helping others grow and succeed in their careers, she shifted her focus to supporting individuals who she sees as the catalyst to lasting impact in the world.
Emily served as the Executive Director of Democratic GAIN, a national membership association for individuals and organizations within progressive politics. At GAIN, she oversaw the growth of career development programming and coaching for individuals trying to make a difference through advocacy, nonprofits, government, and campaigns.
Prior to starting Pivot Journeys, she also worked for the Girl Scouts of the USA, managing the Office of the National Board, where she supported the Board’s oversight and promotion of strategic initiatives for the Girl Scout Movement.
