Emily Steele

A native southern Ohio, Emily grew up in a small town 50 miles southeast of Cincinnati (lovingly called “The Nati” or “Cincy”). She has strong connections with “Cincy” where most of my teaching experience occurred. I am proud to say I earned a doctorate in education at the University of Cincinnati. She was a classroom teacher, professor, educational consultant and researcher. She came to the Keys to help a friend rehab a 43-foot Pearson Trawler. While working on the trawler I fell in love with the Keys. She's a volunteer with Just Older Youth (JOY) Inc.
