Emily Kwesell

“If you don’t do it this year, you’ll be one year older when you do”- Warren Miller

Emily started at Vital as an intern before becoming a Digital Marketing Coordinator, then moved on to Account Management, where she has thrived ever since. As a Senior AM, she loves working with one of Vital’s largest higher education accounts — the energy in every meeting is tangible and the work feels like the Vital team is really making a difference. Plus, the occasional work trip to sunny Southern CA isn’t the worst.

When she’s not chatting with clients about enrollment goals or application deadlines, you can definitely find Emily outside. She’s an avid trail runner and completed her first Ultra Marathon in summer 2025! She also loves her (pink) gravel bike and paddle board in the warmer months, though her forever love is skiing — she tries to go for a backcountry or cross country ski every weekend in the winter. 

For Emily, no activity is complete without an apres celebration with friends and family. After a fun day in the mountains you can probably find her cheers-ing at a local brewery and devouring a plate of chicken wings. 

Notable clients include: University of San Diego (Marketing & Communications Department, Hahn School of Nursing, PCE Graduate Online Degrees, School of Law)

Random Bits

  • I love skiing, trail running, and cycling and firmly believe glitter makes you go faster.
  • I listen to true crime podcasts to relax and unwind, but get terrified watching scary movies. 
  • My happy place is a cozy bakery or coffee shop, with a sweet pastry in front of me.
