Emily is the Associate Director of FDS. She has worked at Yale since 2008, most recently as the Director of Programs and Partnerships for the Yale Institute for Network Science (YINS). Emily received her BA in geography from Ohio Wesleyan University in 2006, before studying international business law at the American University of Paris. Upon her return to the United States, she was recruited for a postgraduate fellowship in developmental social neuroscience at the Yale University School of Medicine. She co-founded the Give Speech Foundation, a nonprofit with a simple mission: to make augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technology better, cheaper, and more accessible. Emily firmly believes smiles are contagious (she’s right) and that Yale University is the happiest place on earth.
