Emily described her job as intense, lots of problem solving, and results.
6. What is your favorite part about your job?

As Emily said "YES!!!". Traveling is a huge part to Emily's job. She often travels to DC, and San Diego, California. Emily knows everything about airports, due to how much she travels.

Her favorite place would have to be Southern California.
9. What is your favorite thing to do in California?
Emily's favorite thing to do in California, even though most the time she's in meetings, would be getting to get out and look at some of the problems she's trying to solve. Another one is getting to try the different kinds of food California has to offer.
10. If you could tell a person one thing about your job what would that be?
If Emily could tell a person one thing about her job that would be the fact that she spends a lot of her time translating science to people who aren't scientists. She is like the bridge between the customer and scientist .
11. What is the biggest challenge about your job?
The biggest challenge Emily says is that she has to deal with several different opinions, and filter through all of them to come up with one result.
Classy Abbie's three questions:
1. What is your favorite thing to do in your free time?
Emily enjoys scrapbooking and taking photos in her free time, which is very rare.
2. How would you describe your style?
Emily describes her style as "DC suit". When she's in DC, it's suit and heels, where in California they are more laid back with flip flops and shorts. So she has to find a balance between professional and casual wear for California.
3. Do you have any favorite stores?
Emily enjoys shopping at Nordstrom and Ann Taylor.
