Emily grew up in Berthoud and later attended CSU. In 2005, she and her husband Matt purchased their little home in downtown Loveland. They currently reside there with their three teens and two dogs. Emily is a landscape designer by trade and spends most of her free time painting, knitting, printing, cooking, and gardening. She began serving on the board in December of '22 and loves being a part of such an incredible organization. She especially enjoys employing her horticultural and design skills in the gardens at Benson Sculpture Gardens and working with the volunteer gardeners.
