[Over the course of more than a decade of collaboration, I have seen Emily bring exceptional skill to every project. She combines emotional intelligence with strategic communication, and she excels at facilitating multi-partner work in complex contexts. Emily is hardworking, detail-oriented, and deeply committed to building trust through meaningful partnerships, all while keeping sight of the bigger picture.] Her contributions have been significant — from shaping WHO’s respectful maternity care guidelines, to co-leading a complex multi-country postpartum hemorrhage portfolio, to providing strategic leadership to a Nepal–JPG SPH collaboration for mental health intervention research. She has a rare ability to align diverse stakeholders and position evidence so it resonates with decision-makers. [Calm under pressure and adaptive to change, Emily and Practical Associates are invaluable partners for any organization seeking collaborative, evidence-based solutions].
