Emma discovered her passion for data and analytics as a grant writer, using budgets and audience numbers to help tell the story of small arts organizations looking for funding. Since then, she has worked in social services, arts, higher education, and, for the last ten years has found her professional home in independent schools. Currently, she serves as the Interim Director of Development at The Bay School of San Francisco. 

Her experience as a front line fundraiser, combined with her deep belief in the power of data and analytics, has enabled Emma to help grow annual giving, strategically project revenue, and facilitate leadership’s understanding of fundraising.

Emma is the past chair of the member engagement committee for the Association of Advancement Services Professionals, a member of the 2025 CASE-NAIS Conference Committee, and co-founder of Databases Supporting Development, an independent school database professionals meet-up in the Bay Area.
