Emily Scott
Director of Finance & Budgeting
Personal Connection
I am, in many ways and always somehow, mourning—whether it’s the loss of a loved one, the shattering of a glass plate, or the loss of sleep when life throws me for a loop. My journey with grief has shaped me from my youth. I have loved and lost deeply, and when grief would overwhelm me, it was a community that brought me back.
My passion for working with Walk With You stems from a desire to be that community for those who struggle to find it. Even in roles disconnected from direct family contact, I work to ensure the growth and continuity of an organization whose support has transformed the lives of people like me—those who are always mourning.
Roles & Contributions
With a hand in both financial operations and creative media, my roles as Director of Finance and Creative Media Associate are both unseen and essential. On the one hand, I ensure that our financial health aligns with our vision, enabling Walk With You to serve families sustainably and ethically. On the other, I help families honor their child's legacy through thoughtful and heartfelt designs, preserving cherished memories
Vision & Impact
I hope to contribute to a world where every family navigating child loss feels supported, heard, and connected to their child’s legacy. Whether it’s designing keepsakes that honor a child’s memory or ensuring Walk With You’s financial stability to continue this work, I want to make sure that every decision, detail, and dollar reflects the heart of our mission. To me, honoring a child’s legacy means celebrating their story, saying their name, and ensuring their impact is never forgotten.
