My name is Emma Early and I have been part of the Mavily as a TRIO Advisor since October 2024. To start, I would like to express my appreciation and excitement for the opportunity to join the CMU community. I look forward to working together to help make the experience for students at CMU great and support one another in success!
I was born and raised in Grand Junction and graduated from Grand Junction High School. I went onto graduate Colorado State University with my Bachelor of Social Work in 2013 and Master of Social Work in 2014. I currently hold a Colorado License in Clinical Social Work. Most recently, I held a Social Work position at HopeWest Hospice where my role was to support and counsel patients and families utilizing hospice services through the progression of terminal illness, anticipatory grief, and connecting to community supports. Through this role, I also provided education and professional support to our clinical Social Work team. My interface with CMU in this role was through site supervision for Social Work master level internships and practice education. I also have experience working as a therapist in residential youth services, serving children in their home and school environments, and providing case management support to individuals with traumatic brain injuries.
I live in Grand Junction with my husband, Lincoln, Son, Graham, Daughter, Scarlett, and two fur babies Gus and Tucker. I enjoy spending time with family, going on walks, watching movies, anything Disney, having dance parties, cooking, crafting, traveling, indoor cycling, going to CMU sporting events, and taking care of our home. I look forward to visiting with you!
