Prior to starting her legal career, Emily served as a field volunteer with PBI Colombia. Emily first heard of PBI while interning for the U.S. Office on Colombia in Washington, DC, whose executive director at the time, Heather Hanson, was a former PBI Colombia field volunteer. After serving on the team in Colombia, Emily was hired as an outreach and communication’s coordinator for PBI Colombia in North America. Emily stayed in that role for two years and then served on PBI’s first exploratory mission to Honduras before leaving PBI for law school. In 2016, Emily re-assumed a volunteer role with PBI by joining the PBI-USA NCC.
