About Emily
Prior to forming Richett Media, Emily spent six years as a feature reporter at FOX 17 News in Grand Rapids, championing local businesses and events on-camera as well as honing her research, production, and editing skills behind the scenes. During her tenure, Emily shared more than 6,000 news segments as a reporter and helped make FOX 17’s morning show a success. Her commitment to telling important stories and showcasing the good in the community earned her a large and loyal West Michigan following, as well as a multitude of professional connections upon which she continues to rely. A graduate of Western Michigan University with a bachelor’s degree in public relations, Emily’s volunteer work includes serving as the Celebrity Chair for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as well as work with the UICA, the Humane Society of West Michigan, and the American Cancer Society. One of those cheerful morning people with a lot of energy, Emily enjoys vegetarian cooking and travel, but in her free time can most often be found trying new restaurants right here in Grand Rapids or walking her dog, Leo, around her neighborhood.
