Before joining TPG as a Credit Cards Writer in 2022, Emily was a high school English teacher. She fell in love with points and miles when she realized that they allowed her to travel regularly despite her limited teacher budget. She learned the points and miles ropes from her parents, who used credit card rewards to fulfill their empty nester travel dreams after she went to college.

Based in Nashville, Emily loves to use her points and miles to visit friends who live across the country. In addition to getting a great deal on her travels, she specializes in choosing the perfect book to match any trip she's taking.
