Meet Emily Norris, the City’s new Youth Engagement Coordinator with the Community Empowerment Department.
The position was previously held by Kathy Mack, who left in July for a role at the Phyllis Wheatley YWCA.
In her role as Youth Engagement Coordinator, Emily led the Summer in the City interns to their final day of presentations for their mentors, family members and City staff.
She’s preparing the Mayor’s Youth Council for their next meetings and preparation to host the Youth Summit in November.
Before she moved to East Tennessee 14 years ago, played the viola for 15 years with local and state symphonies in Georgia.
Her favorite food is tamales. And she is also a huge fan of true-crime and scandal podcasts and TV series.
Welcome, Emily!
