Emma joined the Stewardship & Donor Relations team in 2022 after partnering with Regional Directors as a Development Coordinator beginning in 2018. Serving as a resource and liaison to Regional Development, Emma’s area of expertise includes strategically planning additional stewardship for the University’s generous benefactors. She creatively plans stewardship to strengthen and enhance the relationship between a benefactor, the University’s beneficiaries, and/or key stakeholders. Emma was born and raised in South Bend and has countless fond memories of Notre Dame. Her deep appreciation for the University began when she was young, when her family would frequently explore campus, attend tailgates and football games, and visit the Grotto. Emma earned her B.A. in Journalism & Public Relations from Indiana University. You can find her exploring the great outdoors or spending time with her family in her free time.
