Entering her senior year at Sentinel Secondary School, Emily is thrilled to serve as the Director of Conference for STRIVE 2027. After dragging her friends to her first case competition, STRIVE 2026, pulling an all-nighter, and getting beaten to a pulp, she walked away both humbled and incredibly inspired by the ambition in the room. She’s since competed in Prosper and the Prosper Ivey Invitational Competition, building on that experience and becoming even more drawn to the creativity, teamwork, and chaos that make case competitions so memorable. As Director of Conference, she hopes to bring that same energy to STRIVE 2027 and create an experience that challenges attendees and brings students together. Beyond the business world, she can usually be found travelling, grocery shopping, or trying new energy drinks. She also has an alarming number of TikToks saved for her future miniature long-haired dachshund. Emily can’t wait to welcome everyone to STRIVE 2027!
