Emily Finley

Communications Senior Manager

What is your role at HOPE, in your own words?

I help create and implement a comprehensive communications strategy that amplifies our mission, vision, and values across all ministries. Basically, I want to make sure everyone is aware of all the ways they can plug in at HOPE and find life and purpose in Jesus Christ!

What’s your favorite verse/passage of scripture and why?

If I had to pick just one, it would be Matthew 28:20, where Jesus is commissioning His disciples to spread the gospel and assures them of this: “…And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” I find it comforting and powerful at the same time!

What year did you start coming to HOPE? Working at HOPE?

I started attending HOPE in June 2023 and began working the following July.

What’s something that brings you joy?

A crispy Diet Coke and time in the mountains.

What’s your go-to comfort food or coffee order?

I love an iced dirty chai!

If you could instantly become an expert in something, what would it be?

The violin! I have one sitting in my closet and haven’t touched it since I broke a string the first time I tried setting it up. I’d love to know how to play fluently. Or at all.

What’s something people might not know about you?

My wingspan is longer than I am tall.
