Emily joined CEA CAPA in 2019 as a Program Manager and is now a Senior Custom Program Developer based in Providence, Rhode Island. In her role, Emily works with CEA CAPA's institutional partners and international teams on the development of faculty-led and custom programs. Emily is committed to bringing CEA CAPA's values of diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging to custom program design. Prior to joining CEA CAPA, Emily worked with international students in Boston and San Francisco as a teacher, higher education advisor, university partnerships manager, and Assistant Director of Studies. She has also led study abroad programs for veterinary students in Thailand and worked as a local journalist in Boston for several years. She holds a BA in Writing, Literature, and Publishing from Emerson College and earned her TEFL certificate in Prague, Czech Republic, where she taught ESL to adults for one year. When she's not working on custom programs, she can be found at a rock concert, road-tripping to an art museum, or curling up with a book and her (adorable!) cat, Blue.
