Welcome to the Collaborative.
I'm Emily, the founder and driving force behind our mission to empower businesses to thrive through collaboration and support.
With over a decade of experience spanning operations, project management, administration, and human resources across diverse industries and continents, I've honed my expertise in driving organizational success.
My journey began with a background in engineering, where I cultivated a systematic, data-driven, and analytical mindset—a foundation that continues to shape my approach to business today. To this day, I'm most at home when I'm knee-deep in a spreadsheet, fine-tuning a pivot table or perfecting an equation—there's just something about the precision and finesse required that ignites my passion for problem-solving.
Throughout my career, I've specialized in identifying and implementing operational efficiencies within business processes, leveraging my multidisciplinary perspective to tackle challenges head-on.
My focus lies in crafting innovative strategies that propel businesses like yours forward, built around the unique needs and strengths of both an organization and its people.
Together, let's embark on a journey of growth, innovation, and success.

Land Acknowledgement
In the spirit of respect and reciprocity, we acknowledge that Cascade Collaborative primarily operates on traditional Treaty 7 territory, encompassing the ancestral lands of the Niitsitapi from the Blackfoot Confederacy—including the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani First Nations. These lands have been historically significant to the Îyârhe Nakoda of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations, as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Métis Nation of Alberta.
We recognize the enduring presence of Indigenous peoples on this land and express our gratitude for the opportunity to live, work, and collaborate on this territory.
As we strive to deepen our understanding of Indigenous peoples' rich and complex histories in this region, Cascade Collaborative is committed to ongoing learning and collaboration to better acknowledge and respect the contributions of Indigenous peoples to this land.
