![A little over three years ago, Emma (@ems347) applied for a part-time driving position with Bootstrap Compost. Fresh out of college (University of New Hampshire in the house!), Miss Brown was eager to parlay her passion for sustainability into meaningful, hands-on work. After receiving a killer reference from a former professor, we welcomed her aboard the USS Boot.
Since that day, Greater Boston's Food Scrap Go-Getters have truly taken off. Full steam ahead. And our success is keenly related to homegirl. She'll probably hate reading that — but tough — it's true.
Over the years, Emma mastered residential pick ups before moving onto commercial service. Then she started serving events; orchestrating logistics for massive gatherings of people and compostables. Soon thereafter, she received her certification (as a compost tech) from the Maine Compost School. Currently, she manages our routing software and customer database — processing service requests and new registrants; scheduling refunds; and answering compost-y questions (i.e., "How bad will it smell"?). When time permits (and somehow it does with Emma [she's like Pig-Pen from the Peanuts but surrounded by calmness instead of flies and dirt]), she constructs compost sifters, shelves, coat racks, awesome Tweets, #famousfriday and solid social media campaigns. And she likes good music and good beer. With Emma at the helm, Bootstrap's mission is under control. Helluva job Miss Brown.
