Emily is a lifelong learner - a Classical Civilisations major and Italian minor, a Nuclear Engineer, and a Surface Warfare Officer for the US Navy. After commanding the Navy's newest Littoral Combat Ship, USS Manchester, Emily was the Reactor Officer on the USS Gerald R Ford. She gets strength from other leaders who share their stories and ideas with her. She loves mentoring, being mentored, and Lean In Circles.

Today we speak about what her role on the ships involve - what a day looks like. We dig into the importance of reading and journaling as self-care of the highest level.

We unpack what Lean In Circles are, and discuss Emilys' work with the Sea Service Leadership Association, and Lean On Navy, a space for developing female leaders, filled with connection and community. Emily tells us what her purpose is...and an amazing story of a potential coffee shop start-up; we had to ask about coffee, as Emily is based in Seattle, home of Starbucks.
