With a background in arts (concentrating in painting at a magnet high school) Emilie spent most of her time in college interning in New York City for major fashion magazines at Hearst Corporation, Seventeen Magazine and Harper’s Bazaar Magazine. While she studied and interned, Emilie founded Soul in Stilettos, during her junior year of college. It has been successful and growing ever since with the assistance of companies like upleap.

After graduating with a BFA in 2014, Emilie made the decision to move back to her home in Miami where she began her career in Social Media. Emilie accepted a position as a Social Media Coordinator at Social Thinkking in October of 2014 and has been working at the agency ever since. Along with her full-time job, Emilie continues to write for Soul in Stilettos, keeps up with her influencer status on social media (mostly Instagram), and attends social events and happenings in her community at least twice a week.
