As the Program Manager, Emily brings years of diverse experiences in nonprofit centers across the Northwest, and is always looking for new ways that TGRC can serve our communities. For decades, her work has centered around creating healing spaces, legacies, and new opportunities for people through quality services and organizational management.  Her years with an organ donation organization, assisting young families, and working as an executive assistant have solidified her comfort and passion working with individuals and families throughout grief. 

MY “WHy”:

Tamarack Grief Resource Center has provided services to several loved ones as they traveled the road of loss. My work for an organ donation center in Utah clarified the importance of acknowledging, honoring, and celebrating the loss of our loved ones. My family moved back home to Montana, and TGRC is the perfect fit for my skills and interests. 

re-charging & delight-finding:

I re-charge by moving my body, whether that is a long run, a leisurely walk, or dancing in my kitchen. I also love to travel with my family to unfamiliar places both near and far, read, refinish old furniture, and just be with my friends and family.
