Emily has been an OAS volunteer since 2016, and FOAS board member since 2019. She came to the shelter after moving back to Oakland from the East Coast as a way to give back to the Oakland community and learn more about animal welfare. At the shelter she primarily works with cats and as a mentor training volunteers.
By day Emily works for the San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing as the Grants and Compliance Manager. She has worked in the field of human services and homelessness for 10 years for nonprofits, federal, and local government and has a strong background in grant management and program evaluation.
Emily grew up in Oakland and currently lives in the Laurel neighborhood with her partner Neil and their rescue dog Mac.
