Emma earned her law degree from the University of Michigan Law School in 2006, and received her Bachelor of Arts from Harvard-Radcliffe College in 1998. She developed her understanding of the importance of environmental protection and community-based advocacy while growing up in the Hudson River Valley, the Adirondacks and the Catskills, and then working for political candidates and campaign organizations in Minnesota, Virginia, Illinois and Massachusetts.
