Emma holds a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and Political Science, with a minor in Spanish Language and Literature, from George Washington University. She has a strong background in community building work at nonprofits, paralegal work at a labor law firm, and most recently, served as a reentry case manager at community health center Philadelphia FIGHT. Emma is passionate about connecting with people in her community, especially those impacted by the criminal justice system, and is thrilled to join New Leash on Life USA and continue the work.
Emma’s strong connection with New Leash’s mission also comes from her own two dogs: her childhood dog Indy, and her more recent adoptee, Toaster! Outside of work, you can find her crocheting, making cheese boards, and taking photos around the city on film
