Emily first heard about Frankie Lemmon School through an acoustic benefit concert hosted by Joe Kwon (of the Avett Brothers) & Friends. In 2019, after attending the event 3 years in a row, she was lucky enough to join the team. Since then, Emily has enjoyed helping Frankie Lemmon grow and being part of its incredible community.

Memorable Moment at the School: During a TWFE Breakfast with the Kids, one of the kids started a music circle, handing the chefs, winemakers, and sponsors an instrument, joining us together for a jam.

Favorite way to spend a day in Raleigh: Starting off the morning with a hike around Falls Lake with my dog, having a delicious lunch at Chido Taco, picking up a book from the library, and reading it as the sun sets at Dix Park.
