Emily is currently serving as the Student Services Coordinator of the Gender & Sexuality Resource Center at UW-Eau Claire. This is their second semester in this role and she and has worked in UW-Eau Claire’s Gender & Sexuality Resource Center for almost 5 years (4 years as an undergraduate student intern, and one full semester as a full time Student Services Coordinator). Emily’s favorite part of working in higher education is building strong connections with students, and being a support system along their undergraduate journey, as they want to give student the same support they received at UW-Eau Claire that helped them find success.

Emily loves building programming that fosters a safe space for Queer students to celebrate themselves, and loves working with Gender and Sexuality Resource Center student interns. This is their third year participating in Q-Fest, and they could not be more excited for this years students to gain as much from this experience as they have as a student programmer. Emily is looking forward to sharing all of the students hard work at this years Q-Fest festival!
