About

Hey, I’m Emily! I’m a freelance writer and editor living in Brooklyn, NY. There really is very little I can’t get excited about. I’ve written about everything from cooking and home improvement to social justice and public policy. Check out my clips, my past experience, and, of course, reach out! I’d love to talk about how my training and skills can benefit you or your company.

Found my one true love in Chicago 🍹

Greetings from Thailand! Wish you were here.

The past two days I spent at Elephant Nature Park were life-changing. They rescue elephants who have been forced to do literally back-breaking work. From logging and circuses to carrying tourists on in heavy iron chairs, the suffering these elephants have experienced is unbearable. The mahouts and tour guides do everything they can to make the elephants feel safe and taken care of so they can begin to heal from both physical and emotional scars. They also work to not only their guests but also other “sanctuaries” (which are often just as bad) and villages on how to care for their elephants. In this way, they can continue to make money and feed their families without inflicting pain. The relationships the elephants forge with each other and the humans that have shown them love was truly one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. I am forever grateful to ENP for the lessons and experiences.
