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.

The Heart of Our Work:

Empowering people and businesses to put life over work, embrace individuality, and prioritize well-being by rethinking workplace practices, fostering real connections, and championing sustainable success.

The big picture:

A world where workplaces put people before processes, individuality over conformity, and well-being over burnout- creating thriving careers, empowered individuals, and businesses that actually innovate.

Things you might want to know about me (aka my values):

  • Always puts life before work (as should you)

  • AUTHENTICITY: tends to reject traditional corporate norms in favour of being human-centred

  • Been a Gen Z since ’97

  • HEALTH & WELLBEING: an avid triathlete (swim, bike, run) who is simultaneously dreaming about my next camping trip

  • INDIVIDUALITY: always puts being “human” before being a “resource”

  • ADVENTURE & EXPLORATION: desires new experiences and freedom

What’s it like working with a Gen Z HR Consultant?

  • Expect a consultant who prioritizes life over work, just as much as you do (or more), ensuring well-being is always top of mind.

  • Say goodbye to stuffy corporate HR – with Emily, you'll experience a fresh perspective that's relatable, authentic, and tailored to the needs of today's workforce.

  • As a Gen Z-er born in '97, Emily brings firsthand knowledge of the Gen Z mindset - fresh eyes.
