Emily Wilson

Speaker, author, worship leader and musician who travels the

world sharing her faith through witness and worship.

Emily was encouraged by her third grade
teacher to get up and sing in front of the whole
church at the age of 7. With continued support

from her high school choir teacher, she started
leading music regularly at Mass. She planned

to become a sports broadcaster and earned a
degree in broadcast journalism, but after
reading On the Dignity and Vocation of

Women by Saint John Paul II, she felt a
powerful call to use her education in speaking and presenting to spread
the Gospel.

After working for two years as a full-time high school campus
minister, Emily made the transition to full-time traveling ministry

beginning in 2013. She has spoken and played music at dozens of
national and international youth and young adult events in two dozen

states and numerous countries, including diocesan, parish, and school
events, as well as Life Teen conferences, Steubenville conferences, the
National Catholic Youth Conference, and the Australian Catholic Youth

Festival.

In the summer of 2016, Emily published her first book titled I Choose
the Sky. It is a scriptural devotion with reflections on seventeen women
in the Bible and what we can learn from their lives, decisions, and

encounters with Christ. In the spring 0f 2018, Emily's second book
titled Go Bravely: Becoming the Woman You Were Created to Be will

be released. This book unpacks 20 ways a young Christian woman can
incorporate her faith into her daily life.
