EMMY REED

SENIOR DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS ASSOCIATE

Emmy oversees the Greater Yellowstone Coalition’s digital communications and online engagement, including the blog, email, website, and social media channels. She provides digital strategy assistance for key campaigns and fundraising, plus graphic design, photography, and videography. Emmy also hosts and produces the Voices of Greater Yellowstone podcast.

Hailing from the flatlands of Illinois, Emmy’s connection to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem stems from her family’s cross-country road trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. Thanks to David Attenborough and a myriad of animal books, she developed an obsession with wildlife and probably penned her first conservation piece in fourth grade on Yellowstone’s wolves. With a B.A. in anthropology and history from Washington University in St. Louis, Emmy made a break for the mountains post-college and never looked back.

Her journey soon led to conservation communications and landed a dream gig protecting this wild space.

When she’s not at her work computer or behind the camera, Emmy can be found hiking, reading, and wildlife-watching with her husband Jeff and trusty pup Luna, sharing The Lord of the Rings trivia with unsuspecting victims, and trying to keep her vegetable garden alive.
