Overview

Emily helps clients with real estate matters, including property transactions, leasing, and development.

Emily was drawn to law school by the appeal of complex problem-solving and the interdisciplinary nature of the legal profession, having found it fascinating how the law shapes nearly every aspect of everyday life.

During law school, real estate coursework, including Real Estate Drafting and Commercial Leasing, sharpened Emily’s interest in the practice and gave her practical skills she looks forward to putting to work for clients. She also served as Managing Editor of the Wake Forest Journal of Law and Policy, leading a team of peers in producing scholarship on issues of real consequence to real people, and was inducted into the Pro Bono Honors Society for her work serving the community. As president of Wake Forest’s Women in Law organization, Emily found meaning in building community and fostering connections that will stay with her well beyond law school.

As a summer associate at Husch Blackwell, Emily experienced firsthand the collaborative, encouraging, and supportive culture that defines the firm. She worked on projects across several practice areas, which broadened her legal skill set and confirmed that this was a place where she could grow as an attorney and contribute to real client outcomes.

Known for dedication and clear communication, Emily believes character is the foundation of the profession, shaping not only how attorneys practice law but who they are as people and professionals. As a team member who enjoys setting and achieving meaningful goals, she brings that same drive to every client relationship in pursuit of the best possible outcomes.
