Top SchoolKate Emery is a Senior Digital Communications Manager with 12 years of experience crafting human-centered digital experiences for museums and nonprofits, now leading social, newsletter, and blog strategy at Candid.

Kate has scaled email from 250K to 550K subscribers while raising open rates above 40% and oversaw a brand video that surpassed 1M views in three months. A former museum digital engagement lead and trained archaeologist, she brings uncommon strengths in storytelling, public history, and accessibility (WCAG) to build community and manage crisis response. Colleagues rely on her for cross-team collaboration, training on tools like Sprout, Wordpress, and Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and for turning archival knowledge into compelling digital narratives.
