Who is Emma? We all are. /

Meet our people.

If you're an Emma customer, it's very likely you've gotten to know one or more of the people pictured here. Perhaps you've met several of them. Perhaps you know one person quite well but have only spoken briefly with two others. Here's your chance to put a face with a name, or two names with two faces, and so on and so forth.

You have to like it when a request for quirky tidbits about a person results in a list that begins: 1. She hates cheese! 2. She’s a professional organizer. Rarely do those two characteristics sit side by side on a list. Well done, Ms. Kirker. Kelley is our Emma Host, offering a helping hand as well as a warm smile to our new folks. You'll have to trust us on the smile. In addition to various stints as an administrative assistant, Kelley also founded her own organizing service, Organize Nashville, and continues to help folks turn their houses, closets and other spaces into pillars of neatness. She is a graduate of Columbia International University in South Carolina and nearly tried out for the TV show The Bachelor, where her hatred of cheese, yogurt, sour cream and closet disarray would, one would think, have played out quite nicely in front of a national television audience. Everyone likes pulling for someone who hates messy dairy, after all. Kelley is believed to have one of the more infectious laughs at Emma (which, given our high ratio of infectious laughs, is quite a feat), and when she isn’t working she enjoys listening to old-school R&B (think Diana Ross), NPR (think “This American Life”) and Beyoncé (we miss Diana Ross already). Incidentally, The Bachelor tryouts in Reno were the same day as the Emma interview Kelley chose to attend instead. Guess that’s a rose for us, Chris Harrison.
