"Battery Park City and the Authority are not just about the buildings – it’s about the character of the community that has developed over time. Public space has had a new renaissance in New York City, but here in Battery Park City is where it started."

Emily received a bachelor’s degree in history from Augusta University, and later had a career in NYC’s art community. Seeking to break into the non-profit sector, Emily joined the then-Battery Park City Parks Conservancy in 2014.

Rockefeller Park.

Her hobbies include fiction writing (she just finished her fourth novel, and her first published short story is scheduled to be released on August 20th), collecting vinyl records, listening to female fronted punk and indie rock, and producing podcasts. She currently resides in Brooklyn Heights with her partner, two dogs and cat.
