ABOUT EMILY GERDES

As a recent college graduate, I stepped into the AEC industry in October 2023, bringing a fresh perspective and a creative, adaptable approach to marketing, business development, and event management.I hold a B.S. in Journalism and Political Science from Northern Arizona University, where I developed expertise in content creation, digital strategy, and brand storytelling. As Editor-in-Chief of The Lumberjack newspaper, I led a team of 90+, expanded our print distribution, and spearheaded a full-scale digital transformation multiplying our readership exponentially. These leadership experiences fueled my ability to manage projects, lead teams, and execute high-impact marketing initiatives.With a background in journalism and digital media, I excel at crafting compelling narratives that not only elevate our brand but also strengthen connections, within our company, with our clients, and across the community. From award and proposal writing to page layout, event planning, video and photo production, and merch/swag creation, I thrive in fast-paced environments. Constantly adapting to new tools and trends, I ensure my work stands out and delivers results. Whether it\'s refining brand messaging, designing eye-catching visuals, or telling the story behind a project, I love finding creative ways to showcase the impact of our work.
