EMILY SEIPLE

Neighborhood Solidarity Partner

BIOGRAPHY

Emily’s fascination with the way places shape belonging led her to St. Louis, which she is proud to call her chosen home. She moved to St. Louis in 2021, not for work or school, but because she wanted to live and be in St. Louis. She believes people here have the solutions to create places and systems they deserve, and she is honored to support neighbors and decision makers as they make courageous choices for generations.

Prior to Invest STL, Emily supported grant programs and strategic planning at the St. Louis Community Foundation, and served as Director of Community Development for a Twin Cities-based nonprofit that supports housing insecure young people during pregnancy and early parenting years. Emily has a master’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Iowa, and she has served on housing commissions and task forces in several communities to pass affordable housing policy. She has received national recognition for research on flood recovery planning (and continues to nerd out over green infrastructure).

She loves spending time near the stream restoration in Tower Grove Park, finding gluten-free bakeries, and trying to weave on her many looms.
