Hi! I’m Emily. I am a professionally represented and published model, freelance journalist and content writer, the Lifestyle and Managing Editor for Grit & Goals Magazine, community television program host, school librarian, singer, and public speaker who has had a passion for creative writing and storytelling since childhood. I have experience writing everything from novels, to blog posts, to magazine articles, to local news articles. I also currently hold the title of Mrs. Pennsylvania Continental Worldwide, and I am honored to use my title to support small business owners in my home state. I was lucky enough to marry my college sweetheart, Dillon, and together we reside in Berks County, PA with our daughter, Brielle, and rescue pup, Teddy.
