Emily DeBaker

Senior Client Director, Education Practice Lead

When my early career in TV news brought me from New England to Wisconsin, I never anticipated I’d stay. But I fell in love with Wisconsin, and a cute guy – and the rest is history. 

While I had my start in news, I really hit my stride working for one of the state’s largest school districts. I spent more than a decade honing my communications craft, and then stepped into a Chief of Staff role for the District. For more than a decade, I learned the importance of transparency and clear lines of communication with stakeholders, and I saw firsthand, and worked to address, the challenges educators face every day. I also handled a crisis or two… or hundreds. From strategy to execution, I’ve done it all. 

Outside of work, I’m a mom, a stepmom, and a wife who would always rather be outside. I’m a loyal Patriots fan who’s (mostly) made peace with cheering for the Packers, too. 

Most of all, I love spending time with family and friends and telling the stories of people and organizations doing good things. Fit the bill? Let’s chat!
