About:
Hi, I’m Emily - founder of Think HR, speaker, author, and unapologetic advocate for putting life before work.
After working 12 different jobs (in 7 different industries) by the time I was 24 (yes…I was the career bachelorette), I realized too many workplaces treat people like “resources” instead of the wildly unique humans they are. So I built Think HR to help creative, mission-driven businesses lead differently - prioritizing individuality, well-being, and real human connection.
Today, I consult, speak, and run workshops that challenge the way people think about work. I’ve shared my perspective at conferences, in boardrooms, on my podcast Your Gen Z Co-Worker, and in my book We’re Human. Not Resources.
Whether I’m helping a team embrace their strengths, guiding leaders through tricky HR waters, or inspiring audiences to rethink workplace culture, my goal is always the same: more life, less burnout, and a career you don’t have to recover from.
When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me outdoors - training for a triathlon, camping under the stars, or discovering a new hiking trail.
What i do:
I help individuals and organizations:
rethink how work fits into real life
build careers without constant burnout
lead and manage people more humanely
challenge outdated workplace norms
My approach is honest, practical, and grounded in real experience — not buzzwords or corporate scripts.
How i work:
I value:
clarity over complexity
honesty over polish
progress over perfection
humans over systems
I don’t believe in hustle culture, performative wellness, or treating people like resources.
I do believe in work that fits into your life — not the other way around.
If this resonates…
You don’t need to overhaul everything to make meaningful change.
You just need a better starting point.
