Emma is the Director of Adolescent Wellness at SAFE Coalition. For the past four years, she has led and grown SAFE’s teen Diversion program, now serving students across 20 school systems, and she brings the WhyTry resilience curriculum into classrooms across the region. A Certified Mediator, Restorative Justice certified, and a Certified Youth Yoga Instructor, Emma creates a judgment-free space where teens learn practical coping skills, reflect on choices and consequences, and feel seen and supported. A UMass Amherst graduate in Psychology and Legal Studies, she is passionate about meeting young people where they are, building resilience, and turning challenges into opportunities so they can thrive at school and at home. Outside of work, you’ll find her at the piano, on her yoga mat, or in the garden.
