In her free time, you can find Emily outdoors with her husband and two boys. A Montana native, she loves everything Montana has to offer, from hiking, camping, and fishing to snowmobiling and bowhunting. She is also an avid sports fan — you can usually find her in the bleachers rooting for her kids, nieces, nephews, or her beloved Oklahoma City Thunder.

Emily was elected the PTO president at Warren Elementary School for the 2019–2020 school year. She has made it her passion to help those less fortunate and regularly volunteers at Toys for Tots, organizes community food and clothing drives, school events, and assists with several other local organizations. She loves being a part of the Helena community.
