Emily handles energy regulatory matters, focusing on renewable energy, environmental compliance, and navigating evolving regulations for clients in a changing industry.
Emily has a lifelong passion for the outdoors, as well as a background in environmental science and policy. She chose to pursue a career in energy regulatory work out of a desire to combine science and law to support environmental progress and address complex legal issues in the energy sector.
As a law student, Emily worked at the Center for Agriculture and Food Systems, where she gained experience in food and agriculture law, food labeling, and workers’ rights, and co-authored a published issue brief on ethical claims in food labeling. She also competed in a national moot court competition, building public speaking and persuasive writing skills, and served as a teaching assistant for several classes and notes editor for the Vermont Journal of Environmental Law.
Prior to law school, Emily served as an AmeriCorps Stewards VISTA for an environmental nonprofit, working with a wide range of community groups and building a foundation in environmental justice. She also worked as a paralegal, managing disability appeals and helping veterans and families navigate legal processes, which strengthened her ability to communicate complex legal concepts and listen to client needs.
As a summer associate at Husch Blackwell, Emily worked on projects involving government contracts, white collar crime, food and agriculture, and energy and natural resources, all while conducting research, drafting memos, and updating clients.
Emily is known as a careful listener, clear communicator, and detail-oriented professional, always focused on meeting client needs and making legal processes straightforward.
