Emily has more than 20 years of experience in communications and marketing and more recently in instructional design and eLearning technology.
She has a passion for writing and design and enjoys a great tech tool. She has held several communications-related roles at HFA, and currently heads up HFA’s communications and marketing efforts, and manages HFA’s Learning Central.
Emily has a BA in journalism and another BA in integrated marketing, a certificate in online course authoring, and another in instructional design. Prior to joining HFA, she was a newspaper journalist and then worked on communications teams in healthcare and higher education.
While Emily does not have a bleeding disorder, she does have two rare diseases which led to a kidney transplant in 2016, so her life experience gives her a deep understanding and unique perspective in serving a patient community.
She lives in a small community south of Des Moines, Iowa, with her two children, three cats, sweet Beagle, husband and stepchildren. Flowers are also a big passion for Emily — she operates a small flower farm and sells bouquets at local markets and enjoys giving bouquets to family and friends.
