Emily graduated from Iowa State University in 2021 with a bachelor's degree in Agricultural Communications. She is also the owner and operator of Wildflower Creative Branding, a graphic design and digital marketing agency serving agricultural businesses in West Point, Iowa.

Before becoming an instructor, Emily danced from the age of 7 until high school graduation in Washington. Her training included ballet, jazz, tap, clog, tumbling, and pointe. She had the pleasure of learning from Miss Tympest and was also taught by Miss Tasha and Miss Katie. Emily enjoys teaching as a fulfilling activity outside of her professional life and appreciates the opportunity to connect with her students. She is thrilled to return to HTDA for another year.
