Emily Pruse

Home Office: Springfield

Emily is a proud graduate of the University of Oregon with a dual B.A. in Communication Studies and Electronic Media. Initially, she embarked on a career in post-production for broadcast journalism. After several years, she realized that her lifestyle didn’t align with her goals. In 2014, she pivoted into the role of an office assistant at a local engineering firm, a job that unexpectedly captured her heart. Through her adept writing, proofreading, and communication skills, Emily found fulfillment in assisting her colleagues and clients in achieving their objectives. Her eagerness to acquire new skills and explore different software tools remains unabated.

Emily enthusiastically joined the SWE team, where she makes valuable contributions to the company’s operational goals: support the community, pursue excellence, and work effectively.

Outside of the office, Emily pursues her passion for acquiring new artistic skills – like exploring the art of linocut printmaking. She indulges in collecting vintage teapots and nurturing an extensive collection of houseplants, some of which she manages to keep alive. She also finds enjoyment in engaging in tabletop RPGs with her friends, unwinding with a good video game, and embarking on treasure hunts at local thrift stores. Her ultimate indulgence when it comes to cookies is the timeless classic: chocolate chip.
