Happy ! Meet Emily, one of our Street Outreach Workers at New Roads! Emily (she/her) joined Looking Glass after graduating from UO with a degree in neuroscience. She says that her real education and experience comes from a childhood of doing street outreach in Portland with her dad and being taught that no one is a stranger. She carries this into her current work noting that “everyone’s lives have meaning” and that she “loves being able to be a helping hand during their darkest hours.” Emily has truly demonstrated what compassion, commitment, and resilience mean when working with folks at the drop-in center and during street outreach. We are grateful to have her as part of our team. Thank you, Emily!
