Meet the Team

To create a community of belonging, one PT&E organization-wide goal is that 100% of staff, participants, and patrons agree or strongly agree with: “I feel included and can be myself at PT&E.” To achieve this goal, staff draws on professional and lived experiences to nurture meaningful connections and promote inclusivity in a diversity of ways.

Emily Office Manager

emily

— She/her

office manager

Emily is the Office Manager at PT&E and a recent transplant to Portland from the Bay Area. Born and raised in Southern California, she’s always loved sunshine but has found herself drawn to the lush greenery and slower pace of Oregon life. Since relocating, she’s been enjoying getting to know her new city—whether that means exploring Portland’s many neighborhoods, discovering hidden hiking trails, or checking out the local live music scene. Outside of work, she loves spending time with her two cats, who have also been adjusting to the move (though with significantly less hiking).
