Emily’s love of dogs began growing up with a yellow lab named Clifford. Emily has been involved with Angel’s Retreat since it began in 2018, and she adopted Chloe from Angel’s Retreat in December 2022, a 4-year old labrador and hound dog mix who loves her (multiple) daily walks in Central Park!

Emily grew up in Holmdel, New Jersey before going to Notre Dame for undergrad where she graduated with a BBA in finance and economics with a minor in constitutional studies in 2016. She worked in finance for three years at Synchrony, where she met Melissa. In 2019, Emily went to Seton Hall University School of Law to pursue her JD. She graduated in 2022 and currently works as an attorney in New York City.
