This month we are featuring new City employee Emily Campen.
Emily joined our Finance team 4 months ago, but she is no stranger to the city. She is a Knoxville native and has taught hundreds of area students as a Holston Middle School teacher, including our own Ayauna Blair in the Mayor’s Office.
She is pictured here with her husband Mark (a former City Councilman) in a hot air balloon ride from 2012 over the Serengeti. They have 2 kids, 13 year-old Parson and 8 year-old Phoebe, and a labradoodle named Rosie.
The family formerly owned three successful flower shops in the area, but they got out of the floral business in 2020.
If you want to tempt Emily with a treat, tacos are her favorite food!
