As Development Coordinator, Emily manages the donor database, gift processing, acknowledgments and reporting. She also runs donor stewardship programs, including those for first-time donors and monthly donors. Emily strives to ensure our donors feel our deep and sincere gratitude for their generous and impactful contribution.

Before coming to Operation Food Search, Emily earned her Bachelor of Arts in both English Writing and Spanish along with minors in Physics and Mathematics from DePauw University. Additionally, she co-led a Summer Lunch Program for three years as a church intern.

When she’s not in the office, Emily loves creative writing. She is also a big fan of trivia as she really enjoys learning and memorizing facts, particularly when it comes to geography and one-hit wonders.

From Emily:

“My work matters to me for so many reasons, but first and foremost is my faith in Christ. Feeding the hungry is something close to God’s heart and being part of Operation Food Search allows me to be a small part of helping to create a future in which we all have access to healthy food.”
