Help us celebrate Emma’s first year with Des Peres Parks and Recreation! 🎉 As our Recreation Specialist for Community Programs and Special Events, Emma helps bring memorable experiences to life for our community. Get to know her!

Favorite part of the job:
“While I love the planning process, my favorite part is seeing everything come together—from the setup and last-minute details to watching participants enjoy the event and seeing the excitement on their faces!”

An event she recommends:
"The Princess Unicorn Tea Party has been my favorite event to work on so far. It’s such a magical event, and all the little details are what truly make it come together. Seeing participants arrive in their princess dresses and jewelry and watching them meet several princesses who sing and perform, is such a fun and memorable experience. It’s truly amazing to see the excitement on their faces and watch the event come to life!"

Off the clock:
You’ll find Emma staying active at the gym, taking long walks with her dogs or playing pickleball. She’s up for pretty much anything that keeps her moving!

Workday fuel:
“Any candy that Kate has at her desk or a Dr. Pepper!”

Thank you, Emma, for a wonderful first year and for helping create so many special moments for our community! 💚
