Hi! I’m Emma and I am the founder and lead strategist @ Superbloom Learning Group. Before founding Superbloom, I built Learning and Development teams at multiple startups, where I oversaw learning strategy for employees at all stages of the employee lifecycle — from new hire onboarding through senior leadership development.

Prior to moving into corporate talent development, I worked in non-profits and K-12 public schools in New Orleans as a classroom teacher, instructional coach, leadership development facilitator, and program manager.

I hold a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership from Stanford’s Graduate School of Education and a Bachelor’s degree in American Studies from Cornell University.

I currently live in the Bay Area, CA (where I was born and raised). When I’m not creating/facilitating learning experiences, you can find me cooking, dancing, or walking the hills of San Francisco with my hubby Andrew and our dog Charlie.

Testimonials

“I feel so fortunate to have met Emma just as I was stepping into a Learning and Development role. As my mentor, she provided me with tools and guidance that were crucial in allowing me to seamlessly jump into leading a function that I was otherwise brand new to. Thanks to Emma's infectious energy and empowering creativity, I always ended our sessions feeling inspired and confident in my ability to tackle my L&D objectives. I truly cannot imagine a more knowledgeable, enjoyable, or productive thought partner and leader in the talent development space!”

-Mary Remillard, Head of Employee Success and Development @ HomeLight

"I had the pleasure of working with Emma from Superbloom Learning, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Our collaboration began during our time at Better.com, where her exceptional organizational skills and ability to bring clarity to complex ideas stood out. When I started my own educational company, I immediately reached out to Emma for her expertise. She effortlessly transformed my scattered notes and ideas into a meticulously structured curriculum that exceeded my expectations. Thanks to Emma, I now have a curriculum that I am truly proud of, and she has undoubtedly brought me peace of mind throughout the entire process."

Our Values
