About

As the Executive Director of Taking a Shot at Breast Cancer for over 15 years, I have dedicated my career to nonprofit leadership and community-driven initiatives. My efforts focus on raising awareness and funds for breast cancer patients in St. Clair County. This includes planning and organizing the annual Pink the Rink and 5K Run/2 Mile Walk events, and collaborating with organizations like the local Community Foundation. With 17+ years as the owner and lead photographer of Photographs by Emily, I specialize in newborn, family, high school seniors and weddings. My work is grounded in self-motivation, prioritization, and a commitment to excellence in capturing meaningful moments. As a member of the Blue Water Chamber of Commerce, Blue Water Business Club and former member of BNI-Geared for Success, I actively engage with the local business community to foster collaboration and growth.
