Emily has worked as a professional educator in the United States for the last nine years and holds a Masters degree in history. She has studied the transformation of American industry and communities over the last century, and understands the social challenge of transforming embedded, natural-resource-dependent industries. As the project’s fundraising coordinator, Ms. Leary builds relationships with companies, organizations and individuals that understand the value of moving America away from oil dependency.
As the owner of a four-wheel-drive SUV, she enjoys the interior space and the access to the great outdoors which the vehicle provides her. However, Emily realizes that the latest hybrid vehicle technology will allow her to continue having the convenience of an SUV without degrading the pristine nature of America’s far north.
During the summer of 2005 the Treasure America Project went to the village
of Kaktovik, Alaska to analyze the economic consequences of oil industry dependence
and opportunities to promote increased local entrepreneurship.
