Emily started at Eight Cousins as a college student summer staffer and then returned to work year round. She is particularly fond of YA, science fiction, and fantasy. Around Christmas time Emily dons her elf hat and coordinates the Giving Tree program that collects books for local children in need. In addition to loving books she also adores shiny things and likes to make them as well; there are frequently a few of her sparkly creations to be found around the store.
