​Emily’s Bio:

​Driven by the ideal of providing equal education opportunities for all learners, Emily co-founded Practice, a technology company, which was sold in December 2017 to Utah-based Instructure, a leading, global education technology company.

At Instructure, Emily wore many hats including VP of Strategy and, most recently, VP of Customer Success.

​As a former Teach for America and KIPP teacher, special education lawyer and luddite, Emily now fully embraces technology’s potential to have massive impact on individuals, the communities they live in and the organizations they work for.
