Emmy brings a deep passion for housing policy, coalition-building, and organizational development, along with experience spanning affordable housing, advocacy, and stakeholder engagement across New England and beyond.
Like many housing professionals, this work found her through direct experience with the transformative impact stable housing can have on individuals, families, communities, and local economies.
Emmy’s housing journey began at Avesta Housing helping people find a home. That experience sparked a long-term commitment to housing as both an economic and community development issue. Since then, Emmy has served in leadership and organizational roles focused on advancing housing policy and building strong collaborative partnerships. She earned her Master’s in Public Administration from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, where she focused on housing policy and the development of housing-focused organizations.
With MAHC, Emmy will help strengthen statewide partnerships, expand outreach and engagement efforts, and grow MAHC’s influence as the lead housing advocate in Maine.
