Emily is a journalist, certified trainer, and run coach with over a decade of penning words for outlets including GQ, SELF, and Runner’s World.

When she’s not tapping words onto a laptop, she’s behind the microphone hosting her wellness-focused podcast, Hurdle.

In her off-time, you’ve got the option to find her running, cycling, and hunting for the best croissants in Brooklyn.
