However, what truly sets Emily apart is her ability to build meaningful and lasting relationships with her clients along the way.
Born and raised in the Bay Area, Emily spent a significant part of her childhood in Santa Cruz, California. Observing her grandfather and father successfully manage a sporting goods chain, she quickly learned that boldness is rewarded in the world of entrepreneurship. These early experiences taught her the importance of perseverance and the need to earn one's place when running a business. At the age of 13, Emily's family moved to Lake Oswego, Oregon, seeking a change of pace and scenery. She completed her high school education at Riverdale High School in 2003, proudly representing the Mavericks.

It was within the bustling walls of the store that she received an intensive crash course in sales techniques and gained a graduate-level education in exceptional customer service. Unsurprisingly, Emily's hard work and dedication led her to rank within the top 10% of salespeople at Nordstrom, a testament to her natural abilities and unwavering commitment.
In September 2022, Emily took a significant leap in her career by launching her own brokerage, Hustle & Heart Homes. As her mother fondly remarks, she now gets to use her powers for good.

Emily also takes great joy in entertaining family and friends at their tranquil lake house in Sherwood, where the wine fridge is as well-stocked as the gratitude she feels for the life she leads.
