Hi, I’m Emily 👋

I’m the founder of Wanderwing, a mom of two girls, and someone who’s spent more late nights than I’d like to admit wondering, *“Are my kids getting enough real play, real confidence, and real world experience?”*

By day, I serve as a vice president at a nonprofit. By heart, I’m building something I wish existed for my own family — a place where kids can grow confidence, curiosity, and independence through simple, meaningful activities.

Around here, we believe in slowing down just enough to notice the world again.

You’ll usually find me leading a Girl Scout troop, coaching Girls on the Run, mentoring incredible people doing good in their communities, or wandering outside with my family. My husband, Sam — an award-winning artist and the kind of man who can fix just about anything — helps bring Wanderwing to life in ways I could never do alone.

Wanderwing was created for families like yours — especially those raising kids who learn differently, need more flexibility, or just need a little more room to breathe and grow.

If you’re looking for homeschool resources, confidence-building activities, or support for neurodivergent kids, you’re in the right place.

✨ You don’t have to do this alone.
