Emma joined the 59º North team in 2019 after graduating from Kenyon College, where she studied environmental science. Emma has logged over 25,000 ocean miles in the past three years. She has crossed the Atlantic twice, and recently sailed up to 80° North on ISBJØRN in Svalbard. Emma has also sailed as a student and deckhand on tall ships, worked on traditional wooden boats, driven launch boats, and recently skippered a Broadreach voyage with high schoolers in the Caribbean.

Emma has managed 59° North’s social media accounts, worked as boat captain on ICEBEAR, planned passages including our all-women’s trips, and so much more.

When she isn’t sailing, Emma co-hosts the podcast, climbs, skis, and paints as much as she can. Emma recently bought the Navy 44 FLIRT which she is currently refitting for living aboard & offshore sailing.
