“Look at what I can be.” You might wonder if that’s Stacy Stahl’s personal mantra or if it’s the underlying theme to the programs she directs at EmBe. The real answer is that it is both.

Music is just one of her creative outlets. Taught to play the guitar, accordion, piano and harmonica by her [...]

Those same traits that Erin had as a kid, mixed with her ability to take risks and always learn something from them, have set the tone for her career and have helped nurture hundreds of women through her work at EmBe. As a young professional, Erin took on small business ownership with gusto - another one of [...]
