Emily is the owner and sole worker bee of Shine Coaching & Consulting. Shine focuses on business coaching, branding, web design and marketing consulting. She has a passion for empowering others to follow their dreams, and believes strongly in authenticity, connection, compassion, and equality. Emily is also co-creating a local community for families with young children who identify as trans, non-binary, gender fluid or gender non-conforming called Parenting the Rainbow.
Emily is thrilled to be on Out Boulder County’s (OBC) Board of Directors. She is excited about engaging with OBC’s Speaking Out program, and being part of an organization that is so dedicated to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community in these tumultuous times.
Born and raised outside of Boston, MA, Emily received her B.A. in Psychology from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA, and later received her M.A. in Organizational and Corporate Communications from Emerson College in Boston, MA. Her desire for learning and supporting others led her to complete the Co-Active Training Institutes coaching program. A few years later, she was officially certified as a coach by completing Leadership Coaching for Organizational Performance through George Mason University.
Currently, Emily lives in Longmont, CO with her partner, two young children, and their two massive and goofy dogs. She enjoys collecting too many house plants, attempting to grow a fruit and veggie garden, embarrassing her children with her singing, and exploring nature with her family.
