“Emilie exudes our mission and values every day. During her time with Hilltop, she has grown into new roles and skillsets asked of her with strength and courage. Take on a new project with little background info? CHECK… Build a website someone needs yesterday with little lead time? CHECK. Professionally produce a video with limited resources to be seen by thousands of people? CHECK. She checks all of those boxes with patience and professionalism.

Emilie’s talent of helping make people feel comfortable in uncomfy situations is brilliant to watch. How many Hilltoppers have been on the other side of her photo/video lense and have been relaxed and comforted by her calming and comedic nature? We need those photos and videos to tell the Hilltop story and many people feel vulnerable in front of a camera. Emilie’s ability to hone in on relationships and get people to come out of their shells so their light can shine is unmatched.” 

“Emilie is a champion for inclusivity. She educates and advocates with an unparalleled passion and is an integral part of the EDI committee helping inclusivity spread across our organization. If you have recently been on the educational site, that is all Emilie. She finds content, curates it, and designs the website so that it’s easily accessible to others.

As a timeliness factor, her work for Hilltop events is a huge part of why events shine. Her execution of ideas and the ability to take something from thought to tangible deliverable that resonates with an audience is amazing. The integrity, poise, and emotional maturity Emillie encompasses deserves to be highlighted. It’s wonderful to have an employee who demonstrates our values through the good times AND the hard times.

She might usually be behind the camera, but this is an employee that needs a moment in the spotlight and recognition for all she does both internally within Hilltop, and externally by how she represents Hilltop within our community.” – Paige Cadman
