Emery began working at Buffalo Cove in the fall of 2017 holding the roles of cooking for school groups in the spring and fall while being a field staff for summer camp. By 2019, they were fully in the field spring, summer, and fall instructing and facilitating alongside Nathan. Now, whether they are leading a carving class or a bushcraft immersion trip, they hold a deep passion for the technicality of being safe and holding proficient skills while sprinkling in mindfulness and pause to simply sit in wonderment of our natural world.  

When they’re not at camp, you can find them outside with friends hiking, running, climbing, biking, or geeking out on how astounding our plant world is. Zeke and Arrow, their 2 pups, alongside them every step of the way. Their main indoor hobby is writing and creating music, which they get to share over campfires with students all year long. They are forever grateful they get to hold this role for so many students and hope the tiny seeds they plant grow to something healthy and present!
