Emily Snyder was raised a member of the Church with a dream of being a mother just like her mom. However, as she got older, she realized that her life may end up presenting her with a different set of circumstances and opportunities. Now a graduate of Columbia’s MBA program who has previously worked closely as an assistant to both Clayton Christensen and Julie B. Beck, Snyder is employed in Waco, Texas, where she works for Chip and Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia as the company’s chief of staff.
