She’s served as a recurring guest lecturer for exhibition studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and as a career panelist for the Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs. She's taught major gifts, grant writing, and evaluation workshops for Metropolitan Library Services (Chicago), the Center for Nonprofit Excellence (Albuquerque), and the Santa Fe Community Foundation.

In 2016, Emilie moved back home with her husband and son to reunite with family and rediscover sunshine. She's the immediate past chair of the City of Albuquerque Arts Board that oversees its public art program, appointed by Mayor Tim Keller. She's Vice Chair of the Board at Escuela del Sol Montessori and Harwood Art Center. She's a board member of the Albuquerque Film and Music Experience Foundation and Global Ties ABQ, and a past board member of FUSION Theater Company.
As the state leader of Moms Demand Action NM from 2017-21, Emilie helped pass three landmark gun reform bills in New Mexico's legislature and ran for Albuquerque City Council in 2021. She's also a proud breast cancer survivor.
