From this organization, the Total You Women's Wellness Summit was born.

Emily is a firm believer in the notion that education is the path to opening multiple doors and opportunities for individuals. In an effort to fulfill her personal belief, Emily is pursuing a Masters degree in Secondary Education at Texas A&M University – Commerce. Upon completion, she plans to attend law school to receive her Jurisprudence Doctoral Degree.
As a young woman, Emily also believes whole-heartedly in servant leadership professionally and personally. She is a journalism instructor at Nimitz High School where she advises the school newspaper, school yearbook, and Quill & Scroll International Honorary Society for High School Journalists. She also serves as the publications director and editor-in-chief of her church’'s magazine, Trumpet Sound and is a staff writer for You Can Live Again Magazine.

Her philosophy in life is “"Never allow others to define who you are. You must define yourself. Through God-given strength and ingenuity, you must live your life on purpose and enjoy the daily journey.”"
