Testimonials
“Emily is one of those people who are so intelligent, energetic, and talented they are intimidating. But in working with and mentoring her at NREL for many years, I can honestly say she is one of the most accessible, humble, and effective people I've ever worked with. She constantly strives to learn, to solve, to improve every situation she is involved with. You can launch her at any problem, regardless of whether it's in her bailiwick or not, and she will figure out a way to solve it. She is hungry to achieve world-changing accomplishments and I have no doubt she will become of those few human beings who are key fulcrums in actually changing the world for the better.” - Former NREL Colleague
“I had the pleasure of working with Emily in the same group at NREL where she effectively managed critical laboratory budgets and project related responsibilities. Her drive, focus and efficiency is unmatched. Always up for a challenge and new endeavor, Emily consistently challenged and inspired those around her to better themselves. A leader in her field, any organization would be fortunate to have her as part of their team.” - Former NREL Colleague
“Emily is fearless. I have not seen her confront a challenge she did not relish overcoming, from personal to professional, she has learned to successfully navigate the more subtle hazards of office politics with grace and diplomacy, as well as continually seeking more impactful work to apply herself to.”-Former NREL Manager
“Emily knows how to anticipate what may go wrong and head it off, as well as to quickly recover when the unexpected occurs. Her personal and professional experiences in the United States and abroad have clearly taught her how to stay clear-headed under pressure, flexible when faced with the impossible and good-humored when there is nothing left to be done.”-Former Oregon State Service Corps Manager

"Key to understanding Emily's ability to communicate with people from all walks of life and develop meaningful relationships is the fact that she has leave abroad on at least three separate occasions. She has had the experience of being the minority, or not being able to be understood as she would want and of having to stretch her own limits in order to connect with others. In her interactions, Emily remains calm and upbeat. Even if in hte face of stormy team dynamics or antagonism, Emily remains professional and works with others to recognize and strive toward common goals."
