Meet Emily
I grew up in a small town in upstate New York and later moved further north to earn my bachelor’s degree at Clarkson University. My degree in Digital Arts & Sciences—a blend of graphic design and programming—gave me a strong foundation for creative problem-solving.
I worked for several years in Boston in the marketing and operations fields. After a time, I came back to my roots and began work as a machinist, obtaining a manufacturing technology degree simultaneously. Today, I’m proud to work in Community Action, where I contribute to meaningful, grassroots efforts that make a difference locally.
As my husband and I build our metal and fab shop in our garage, I’ve taken on creative side work once more. I focus primarily on laser cutting and engraving, but am willing to try most anything, at least once.
From creating Subaru EZ30R header flanges from a “drawing” that was nothing but dykem blue on a piece of cardboard, to giveaways for events like challenge coins (or pogs, as one person called them), I’m really enjoying the creative projects that have come my way.
Two truths and a lie:
- I can swim faster than you
- I’ve had my rabies shots
- I met Patrick Ewing in a bar in Sacramento

Meet My Helpers
Pratt
A Giant Orange Boy with a great deal of fur and virtually no brain cells, he enjoys pulling himself to a standing position on the coffee table – much like a toddler – and pulling down everything he can reach. Other hobbies include midnight arias, Dale Earnhardt impressions, and fine dining.
Whitney
A shy warrior, she has the Squeak Heard Round the World. Her opinions matter and she’s not bashful about letting you know them. Whitney can often be found perusing the bookshelves, experimenting with simple machinery and trying the latest culinary trends in greenery.
