Emma loves all things cats, cows, and chocolate milk. Her passion for dairy and animals for dairy started while growing up on EL-Vi Farms in Newark, NY. She stays involved to this day at the farm by helping with community relations works like running the social media page and being the race director for the Dairy Discovery 5k that the farm and 3 other local farms host. When she is not working her day job in milk promotion at American Dairy Association North East, she can be found competing for Team Milk in Full distance Ironman triathlons and half & full marathons. Her training and racing allows her to reach the triathlon community online with the benefits of refueling with chocolate milk and make a beautiful community of friends.
