campaigns on behalf of clients. Emily brings a fresh perspective to her work, employing out-of-the-box strategies and problem-solving skills.

Emily received her bachelor’s degree in Communications of Science, specializing in Public Relations and Political Science, from the University of Miami. Before joining the Haj Media team, Emily completed an internship with the Armenian Assembly of America. During this internship, she researched war crimes committed by the Azerbaijan military during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War. Emily diligently tracked the timeline of events using international news coverage, identifying the dates of war crimes and the lives lost in the process, despite the challenges of obtaining accurate information immediately after the war. Her work with the Armenian Assembly allowed her to witness firsthand the influential role of media in shaping the flow of information during times of war.

Emily redirected her career interests toward public relations during her senior year of college. While interning at Haj Media in the spring of 2022, she was exposed to the wide range of sophisticated clients that the company works with on a daily basis, solidifying her decision to join the team as a Boston-based employee in August 2022.
