Team Spotlight: Emily Clay
Meet Emily Clay, senior account executive for the Northwest team.
What is your favorite place to travel or travel experience?
I went to Fiji right after the country experienced political unrest. My friend called it the “after coup special” because the resort package was so inexpensive. It’s the tropical version of Ireland. Stunning.
What do you love about the Northwest?
The people here are incredible. There so many outdoor options and places to explore like hikes overlooking the Pacific Ocean and kayaking in the San Juans. Snow sports are one of my passions, so being in the PNW is ideal for me.
When you fly, do you go for an aisle or window seat?
Aisle.
What are some of your hobbies outside of work?
Encaustic painting, thrifting, hiking, biking, skiing (both downhill and cross country). Kiteboarding lessons in the Gorge is on the list!
What motivates you at work?
The opportunity to learn about beautiful regions and what makes them unique. Creating innovative campaigns that are effective and solve client’s problems.
