EMILY RAE SMITH
ABOUT ME
Marketing + Community Management | Kombucha Enthusiast | ​Cross-Functional Collaborator |
Hopeful Green Thumb | Travel Junky
My name is Emily Rae Smith and I started my professional career in New England and now I am a newly rooted Pacific North Westerner who has a passion for working in Marketing and Events. Over the last 5 years of my career, I have enjoyed enriching communities of people for in-person events at both The Music Hall and Boston coworking space, Workbar. I now run social media, webinars, and events on the marketing team for the project management SaaS company, LiquidPlanner.
One of the most important things I have learned about a healthy work environment is that companies who recognize and foster the individual skill sets of their employees thrive above the competition. I'm interested in a place where I can grow, develop, and make an impact. With a strong skill set and relevant experience, I believe I can bring creative ideas and successful solutions to the table.
