About Emily
My husband and I are both Florida natives and met in college at the University of Florida – Go Gators! I graduated from UF with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and later went on to obtain a Bachelors of Science in Accounting from USF St. Pete.
After a short stint working in accounting software, I made the move from Tampa to St. Pete to begin an internship with a local municipal bond trading desk. I quickly learned there was much more to Amuni Financial than a trading desk, and I have been lucky to grow and learn from some of the best here at Amuni since my first days on the desk in 2013.
As transplants from Seminole and Tampa, my husband and I love living in St. Pete where we have access to beautiful beaches and a lively (dog-friendly) downtown area with our friends and family nearby. When not at work, you can find me with friends and family on the beach, sailing, hiking, or traveling anywhere from the peaks of the Andes to the highlands of Scotland.
Since moving from Tampa to St. Petersburg in 2013, I have been active in the community by supporting local organizations including Tampa Bay Watch and Ronald McDonald’s House Charities. I recently joined the Junior League of St. Petersburg in an effort to become more involved in the community, focusing on projects that directly benefit those who live in the St. Pete area.
At Amuni Financial, we are fortunate to have the advantage of a large clearing firm supporting our back office and product offerings, allowing our brokers and advisors to focus on a personal, boutique approach to client advice and support.
