Emily Hotovec

Emily Hotovec is a 5th generation New Mexican who was born and raised in Albuquerque. Emily’s professional background is in health care. She worked in patient care roles from the moment she graduated high school all the way up until beginning work with Quivira Coalition.

Most recently, she spent six years as a Physical Therapy Aide, providing hands-on assistance in physical, occupational, and speech therapy treatments. She is also a CPR & First Aid instructor, and led her facility’s resuscitation team in responding to episodes of cardiac arrest and other life-threatening medical emergencies.

Though new to the worlds of both nonprofit and sustainable agriculture, she is excited to bring a healthcare worker’s empathy, dedication, and level-headedness to her position as Operations Coordinator.

Outside of work, Emily’s favorite hobby is the gradual restoration of her 1968 Chevy pickup truck.
