Emily joined Julie’s Dream as a Program Coordinator in 2023. Prior to joining Julie’s Dream, she studied Human Development and Family Science at the University of Georgia with focused research on adolescent development and holistic well-being. Upon graduating in 2018, she began serving in full-time ministry with the UGA Wesley Foundation. During her years of ministering in the Athens area, she was able to form relationships and minister to a community of under-resourced youth in Athens Clarke County. She also led efforts in city outreach, community discipleship, and intercessory prayer for local, global, and ministry-related needs. Her love for intentional discipleship and integrating faith into holistic well-being is what led her to work at a summer camp with teens after her time with the UGA Wesley Foundation. It was her experience at camp that sparked a new sense of ministry as she hiked, mountain biked, kayaked, canoed, sailed, camped, and shared the gospel with several youth under the remote, starry skies of Maine. Always finding God’s rest and wonder in nature, she is hopeful to be a conduit of His peace and strength by guiding the youth of Atlanta through His creation and ultimately to His unfailing love.
