Gone are the days of snooze worthy speakers! You’ve gathered your organization or community together for a reason! Let’s bring your event to LIFE with passion, energy, and positivity that will leave your audience feeling engaged, connected, and ready to take action
I’m a midwestern farm wife and former elementary school teacher with a freaking passion for pouring into rural women and helping them tap into the callings on their heart and build healthy and authentic lives that they love.
There’s something about bringing people together that feels magical. There’s an intangible energy that comes from having like-minded passionate community together in one space. My goal is to make your attendees feel seen, included, and extra special.

Rural Community Builder, Coach & Speaker
"Emily is a true inspiration that speaks straight from the heart. Her energy, kindness and passion resonates with each project she takes on - whether it’s being an emcee, panelist, or leading a retreat - I’d highly recommend Emily for any size group or project!"
Michelle Miller, The Farm Babe
Years of experience in the classroom, directing summer camps, and facilitating special events have taught me that intentionality is the difference between people just going through the motions and a truly an exceptional experience. It’s the little things that matter. It’s knowing how to read a room and bring fresh energy to change a dynamic. It’s bringing an audience along for the journey and fostering a symbiotic collaborative experience.
So often we spend hours booking the best speakers, send countless back and forth emails with vendors, stuff the swag bags with the coolest stuff. But what about the small moments? Who is responsible for bringing people back together? Who is hyping up a crowd when they start to feel sluggish? Who is there to get them up off their feet, talking with their neighbor, and maybe dancing along the way? Who is giving your speakers a personalized rockstar introduction that goes beyond reading a monotone scripted bio?
That’s me!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the thrill of keeping an event on task. I thrive thinking on my feet. I like making sure that you don’t have to worry about filling time if things go awry. I get excited to get your people excited.
The variety of life experience and career focus represented in a mastermind cohort will generate diverse perspective to expand your mindset and clarify your vision.
"If you're looking for an energetic, kind, and hard working emcee for your next event EMILY IS YOUR GIRL!
Emily was incredible to work with for our event, Louisiana Women in Agriculture. This event was for around 500 women who have various levels of involvement in the agriculture world. From an event planner perspective, It was a very enjoyable experience to work with Emily. She was very responsive to all communication. She was reliable and held true to all commitments (even when her flight got canceled 24 hours before the event - she figured out a plan B and when that failed she figured out a plan C).
Even after an incredibly long day on stage, Emily remained very friendly and energetic... both backstage (to myself and my team) and on stage to all of our attendees. After the conference we sent out a survey to our attendees and they had raving reviews too! An emcee that is both good on stage AND a joy from a professional standpoint?! Emily hits the jackpot on both.
Seriously, I hope to do another event with her soon! I feel like she left our event as a friend and I'm so thankful we had the opportunity to work together."
Are you ready?
Once a teacher, always a teacher. Emily excels at designing custom workshops to meet the needs of your audience, creates an environment of true collaboration and discovery, and provides tactical tools and takeaways that help them hit the ground running.
Emily has expertise in creating strong habits, building community, using social media for business, thriving in a small town, and unlocking the confidence to bring dreams to reality.

"We had the pleasure of working with Emily for our 2022 Young Leader Conference. Emily presented “Strong Habits to Support Personal and Professional Growth” as part of the Young Professionals track. Our communication with Emily leading up to the conference was nothing short of enjoyable. She emits a bubbly, warm, and welcoming personality, with an apparent enthusiasm for authentic connection. Those who attended the session described it as interesting, entertaining, and relevant, gaining much value from the advice she had to share. We would highly recommend working with Emily!”"
Vanessa Wright and Jenny Webb, Illinois Farm Bureau
"When Emily spoke to our community she had everyone completely absorbed with her positive attitude and brilliant ideas! Emily is so uplifting and easy to listen to! She inspired us all to work at creating new habits to improve our daily lives!"

“This mastermind is a dream come true. In the past, I only found places for women in business where they tore each other down. I was looking for a sounding board with people who dream as big as I do with a soul deep desire to change their community. I honestly thought I would never find my place. Emily has created a table and invites everyone to sit with her. If you're questioning joining a mastermind, this is your push to do it. Dreamers, leaders, inspirers, goal setters… you are welcome.”
“Being part of a mastermind has helped me see different perspectives in rural communities and to realize I’m not alone. I feel connected to high-achieving, like-minded women across the world! I feel as if I’ve finally found my people! ”
