Always so patient with me no matter how many times I asked her a question, she was an integral part of our team and our team’s success at The Athletic. Routinely waking up early and staying on late, Emily received excellent engagement numbers and drove thousands of subscribers for the company all while working as lead on arguably the toughest sport. She could always identify trends and areas where we could grow and improve before other people and was more than willing to take on extra work or tackle projects to benefit our team and The Athletic as a company. Emily routinely checked my own copy and caught errors I otherwise wouldn’t have noticed, and she helped me find better ways stylistically to get our message and voice across. She was the quickest to learn and master our CMS and was my go-to person with any questions I had about the complex process. From my experience working with her every day, Emily is a fantastic coworker and person, and I would strongly recommend her for any position in sports media going forward. She is more than ready to be a manager, and I would gladly work alongside her again or under her in the future. " and "I worked closely with Emily on The Athletic’s digital programming team, as we were instructed to check each other’s copywriting for each alert we sent. Not only did Emily consistently catch my errors, but she was never afraid to give suggestions on stylistic, formatting, or voice changes. Emily is extremely knowledgeable and talented when it comes to sports, content packaging and copywriting, as she became an invaluable programmer on day 1 of the job. Emily mastered The Athletic’s CMS with ease, tracked comprehensive push metrics on Google Spreadsheets, as well as lent a hand to our social media team. Emily put the well-being of the company and its product first, as she regularly worked after hours to ensure all NBA content was packaged appropriately. On a personal level, Emily was simply a joy to work with. I would highly recommend working with Emily, and I wouldn’t hesitate to join her team in the future if the opportunity presents itself. "
