About Emily
Emily Brady is a writer and journalist based in New York City. She was born in Northern California and grew up on a sheep ranch near the Pacific Ocean.
Emily began her career as a reporter for The Daily Journal in Caracas, Venezuela, where she covered arts and culture and sat out a short-lived coup with a bottle of rum. After earning a master’s degree from the Columbia School of Journalism, she was a regular contributor to the City section of The New York Times for two years.
Emily’s work has appeared in the Village Voice, Time, Smithsonian.com, and the Columbia Journalism Review, among other publications. She has also worked as a contract writer for UNICEF and the World Food Program.
Her favorite assignments, at home and abroad, are about people who live on the margins of society and rarely have a chance to be heard, yet have incredible stories to tell.
