More About Emily:

Before EPS: 

I grew up on a farm outside of Sioux Falls.  My first job was mowing the church grounds and the adjacent cemetery at the country church I grew up attending.  I also picked rock, chopped down weeds, and did all the other odds-and-ends jobs there are on a farm.

Most People Don’t Know: 

So far, I have traveled to 13 countries on 4 continents, and I have driven to Alaska three times!  I am also a freelance trombonist and have performed with the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra, Sioux City Symphony Orchestra, and the Sioux Falls Municipal Band.

Outside of Work: 

I love to garden, read, or go hiking.
