Interview with Emily
Tell us about yourself
Hi, I am Emily!! I love traveling, cooking, and going to country music concerts with my mom. I have two dogs, Marley and Duke. They keep life exciting from chewing kitchen cabinets to eating our Christmas tree!
Why did you become a Human Resources Assistant?
I started at TEAM 4 Kids as a Therapy Aide and knew I wanted to grow within the company as soon as the opportunity arose. As a Communications Major at ASU, I learned several transferable skills that I feel fit in well within the field. I will forever be thankful for the opportunity and growth that this position has provided.
Why do you think your coworkers nominated you for being festive?
I think my coworkers nominated me for being festive because of the holiday cheer that I brought to the office this holiday season. I love thinking of creative and festive ways to put smiles on their faces!
What do you love most about working with TEAM 4 Kids?
What I love most about working at TEAM 4 Kids is my co-workers. I love how we are all one big TEAM!
What is your favorite holiday tradition?
My favorite holiday tradition is wearing matching holiday pajamas with my family. This year, we had pajamas inspired by the movie ELF. Even the dogs were matching us!

She spreads holiday cheer and even brought in a full-sized Christmas tree to her desk! You can’t forget the elf on the shelf and elf helpers that are causing mischief in the HR office.
